Hörberg Productions, the independent Swedish studio renowned for its distinctive retro-inspired platformers, has revealed that Gunman Clive HD Collection is making its way to the Nintendo Switch.
This announcement brings back the celebrated side-scrolling action games that first earned a following on the Nintendo 3DS, offering a new audience another opportunity to experience their elegantly simple yet challenging gameplay. Set in a stylized vision of the American Wild West during the late 19th century, the Gunman Clive series places players in the spurred boots of its titular hero, Gunman Clive.
The narrative unfolds as the land is besieged by outlaw gangs and nefarious plotters.
When a group of bandits kidnaps Mayor Johnson's daughter, it falls to Gunman Clive to track them down, facing various adversaries and perilous obstacles along the way.
In Gunman Clive 2, the adventure escalates as the chase leads players across the globe, introducing new environments and expanded gameplay elements beyond the original's roots. Both titles will be packaged together with enhanced graphics in the Gunman Clive HD Collection for Nintendo Switch.
Hörberg Productions has confirmed that the game will be available worldwide on January 17, 2019, via the Nintendo eShop.
The launch price is set at €3.99 ($3.99), making it an accessible addition to any Nintendo Switch owner’s library. Gunman Clive and its sequel have previously drawn praise for their unique hand-drawn art style, tight platforming mechanics, and homage to classic gaming eras.
The HD Collection, already well-received on previous platforms, preserves these qualities while updating them for a modern audience.
Since their debut on the Nintendo 3DS, the Gunman Clive games have carved out a reputation as standout indie successes, and the move to Nintendo’s hybrid platform reflects the ongoing dedication of both Hörberg Productions and Nintendo to supporting high-quality indie titles. With the Gunman Clive HD Collection's arrival on Nintendo Switch, both veterans of the original releases and newcomers can once again immerse themselves in the fast-paced, precision-focused action that has become synonymous with the franchise.
The collection will be available exclusively through the Nintendo eShop, adding to the growing library of indie classics on the platform.
