    The Wii U has been home to quite a strong collection of sidescrollers: New Super Mario Bros. U, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze and DuckTales: Remastered to name but a few. Gunman Clive HD Collection proudly joins that lineup, offering a fantastic experience at a fraction of the cost of those titles.

    Whether you have played the originals on the 3DS or not, Gunman Clive HD Collection is worth experiencing again on your big screen.

    It's one of the best 2D platformers currently on the market and a fantastic example of an indie hit.

    Gunman Clive HD Collection has one of the best cost-benefit ratios on the eShop.

    Solid platforming effort from Hörberg Productions, Gunman Clive HD Collection mixes the best of the Mega Man tradition with endearing visuals, a varied cast of heroes and a whimsical western setting. Its only defect is leaving us craving for more.

    Gunman Clive HD Collection is a good experience for 8-bit platform fans, even though it takes few hours to finish it.

    Gunman Clive’s transition to the Wii U brings virtually the same two games that were previously released on the 3DS with almost nothing else to present other than a technically competent HD conversion and remarkable sound upgrade. Beyond that, there’s nothing else to point out: a simple compilation, that’s what Gunman Clive on the Wii U is all about.

For under 5 dollars you get 2 amazing indie platforming games. Gunman Clive has great combat, exiting bosses, and fun level design, albeit having slightly boring visuals. The second game remedies this by adding lots of colors, along with upping the number and excitement of boss fights and levels. Altogether this is one game on the Wii U that you don't want to miss… Expand

    This collection offers you 2 of the best indie platformers from the 3DS, in HD and on the Wii U at only $3.99! It's a complete no-brainer! TheThis collection offers you 2 of the best indie platformers from the 3DS, in HD and on the Wii U at only $3.99! It's a complete no-brainer! The 1st game took me 33 minutes to complete, and I haven't quite finished the 2nd one yet. Pretty much the 2nd one is quite harder than the 1st, although the 1st one gets a bit tough, too. I think I like the 2nd one a little better because it has more color and really cool environments. Anyway, definitely give this collection a try, it's worth it!… Expand

Nifty graphic style, but I found the gameplay painful -- rare to find a game so slow and simple, yet so frustrating. Obviously this is firmly in the "cult classic" genre, where you either love it or wonder how anyone could love it.… Expand
