Developer Bertil Hörberg just announced on Twitter that both Gunman Clive games are coming to Wii U. He has said in the past that he was interested in making a Wii U port of the 3DS games, but it looks like it’s finally happening now. Both games will be released in one package as the Gunman Clive HD Collection.
Btw, Gunman Clive 1&2 is coming to WiiU. I'm hoping to send the US version to lotcheck next week so I guess it might be time to announce it
