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

Gunman Clive 2 dev says the game’s sales have “been a bit disappointing” compared to the first title

Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 8 Comments

Gunman Clive 2’s sales have “been a bit disappointing” when compared to the series’ first entry, creator Bertil Hörberg has said.

Writing about Gunman Clive 2’s performance on Twitter, Hörberg stated:

For those asking, GC2 sales has been a bit disappointing compared to GC1, but I'll survive
— Bertil Hörberg (@BertilHrberg) April 13, 2015

Hörberg had a brief exchange with Renegade Kid co-founder Jools Watsham, and acknowledged that his expectations may have been a bit too high while also noting that not enough was done to promote Gunman Clive 2.

@JoolsWatsham Probably mostly my expectations being too high after getting lucky with GC1 and being bad at promoting the game
— Bertil Hörberg (@BertilHrberg) April 13, 2015

Sales of the first Gunman Clive surpassed 400,000 units in February. It did particularly well on the 3DS.

Gunman Clive creator not opposed to making a third entry

Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 1 Comment

Two Gunman Clive games have been made thus far. Could creator Bertil Hörberg eventually work on a third entry. Possibly, but don’t expect to see an announcement anytime soon.

Speaking with Nintendojo, Hörberg said:

I don’t know; it won’t be any time soon but I’m not against the idea of another sequel in the future. If I do create a Gunman Clive 3 or continue the series even further I think I will shake up the formula a bit more and do something a bit different. GC2 started as a very straightforward sequel with basically just more levels. I think it grew to be a bit more ambitious than that in the end, but it still follows the first game very closely in terms of the core gameplay and structure. Honestly I don’t really know where to go from here thematically; in GC2 I tried to make everything feel grander and more dramatic. He’s already been to space and traveled around the world, fought dinosaurs and giant robots, so I don’t know how I’d top that to make his next adventure feel like a clear step up again.

Hörberg also commented on his interest in porting Gunman Clive 2 to additional platforms. Wii U remains one system that could receive the game.

For now my goal is port the game to more platforms, but I haven’t made much progress with that yet, so it’ll be some time before I get started on a new project. I have a few loose ideas but nothing solid yet and I’ll spend some time prototyping before I decide anything.
Yes, possibly (Wii U as one of those platforms). My plan was to start with the platforms the first game was on (iOS, Android & Steam), as I want everyone who played that to be able to get the sequel, and then move on to Wii U and possibly other consoles. But we’ll see how many versions I’m able to do before I want to move on to a new game, so I’m not promising anything definite yet. The 3DS version made up for the vast majority of the total sales for GC1, but I don’t feel I can disregard the other platforms after one game, and it shouldn’t be too much work to port it. As I mentioned though, I haven’t gotten very far yet and it’s going pretty slowly still.

Gunman Clive 2 dev still interested in Wii U port

Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments

Last June, Gunman Clive creator Bertil Hörberg suggested that the sequel could be ported over to Wii U. This is something that Hörberg reiterated on his Twitter account today.

It sounds like Hörberg originally intended to first port Gunman Clive 2 to platforms that the first game was on, followed by consoles such as Wii U. It’s not entirely clear if that’s still the plan.

Hörberg’s tweets are as follows:

I was planning to start working on ports directly after the 3DS release; also still have some bugs to fix
— Bertil Hörberg (@BertilHrberg) February 14, 2015

slightly more excited to port to Wii U and other consoles, but the plan was to start with the platforms GC1 was on
