Duke Nukem could be on his way to XBLA

by Alexander Sliwinski { Aug 13th 2007 at 4:51PM }

We knew that there were talks about bringing Duke Nukem 3D to Xbox Live Arcade, but now there's even more talk. Shacknews confirmed that 3D Realms would be interested in bringing the Nukem's 3D outing to XBLA if Microsoft is interested. But, like they said last year, it's not as easy as shipping over the code and getting a nice check. 3D Realms says they have "some people that would port it" and they are just waiting "on the good word from Microsoft to continue."

This would typically be the part where we go into a discussion of when Duke Nukem Forever is coming out and wonder openly if it will ever happen. But we'll simply give you this handy-dandy little link to our Duke Nukem Forever happy 10th un-birthday post and let you think about what you were doing ten years ago when the game was first announced. With any luck, by the time you snap out of thinking back ten years, the XBLA version of Duke Nukem 3D will be ready.

Duke3D is great and all (actually, its a lot of fun), but wouldn't the original Duke Nukem and Duke Nukem 2 make for better Like Arcade games?

yeah I read somewhere they would start to work on that "project" right after Duke Nukem Forever would release. CANT WAIT !! :)

This would be great news if it could happen. I want to know though if 3D Realms would also bring Duke to PSN also.

Always bet on the king.

I agree. Duke Nukem 3D wasn't nearly as well-made as the originals. And I will leave a comment - Duke Nukem ForNever. That is all.

I'm all out of bubble gum.

Bajs @ Aug 13th 2007 5:17PM

hvnlysoldr @ Aug 13th 2007 5:21PM

Hehe, love the Evil Dead movies.

Greatest B-Movie series of all time, starring the greatest B-Movie actor of all time; Bruce Campbell.

I have a lot of fond memories of Duke Nukem 3D. 2-player deathmatch with my 14.4 modem was a blast. Of course getting the modem initialization string was a chore.
That, and I paid $300 for a pentium overdrive processor, just to play this game better.
Took my computer from a dx66, to a pentium 86 Mhz (was actually clocked at about 75 mhz).

Good times.
