Gunman Clive HD Collection supports several control options, price range

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

Bertil Hörberg has shared a couple of more tidbits about the Gunman Clive HD Collection. The digital package, which was recently announced for Wii U, contains Gunman Clive as well as Gunman Clive 2.

According to Hörberg, Gunman Clive HD Collection will support a few different control schemes. This includes the Pro Controller, Wii Remote, and Wii Remote + nunchuck combination, and Classic Controller (along with the GamePad of course).

Regarding pricing, Hörberg said that Gunman Clive HD Collection will be “slightly less than the combined standard price for both games”, but more than Gunman Clive 2 on 3DS. That means it should be less than $5, but more than $3.
