Rumor: XBLA to come get some Duke Nukem 3D

Yes sir, word on the street is that 3D Realms is cooking up an XBLA version of Duke Nukem 3D that'll not only kick ass and chew bubblegum, but will also be Xbox Live enabled. Live functionality including four player co-op and eight player versus deathmatch to boot. The rumor comes from a 3D Realms employee who confirmed with IGN that the game is in full development and that it should make a release to the Arcade within' the next few months. Believe what you want, but even if 3D Realms were to confirm Duke Nukem 3D for the XBLA we'd have to see it before we 100% believed it. Because, you know, there's always the possibility that we could have another generation of vaporware on our hands.

Good news indeed (if it's true). I highly doubt it'll be out in a few months time, even if they say so. (SWOS? Castle Crashers?)
Nevertheless, I loved Duke Nukem 3d back in the day!!
"Come get some!"

I sure hope we can still throw money at strippers

I remember when I used to rent this game from blockbusters, damn I was only about 13 at the time. It would be good to have this game on the 360, it was a lot of fun.
Tony @ Jan 15th 2008 11:32AM
Nice. I hope it turns out. I thought 3D Realms had talked about this in the past too.

"I'm here to kick ass, chew bubblegum and do Xbox Live multiplayer... and I'm all outta gum and Xbox Live is down."

I second matt's line, plus my box went RRoD on me yesterday, which makes me a sad panda :(

One is coming out tomorrow, one came out the week before and there's clearly several in the pipeline. It's not like they're rare.

Always bet on duke.
Start the hype train for DNF (coming in 2012)!
craig64 @ Jan 15th 2008 11:51AM
I think this is awesome news! I've been hoping they'd announce this ever since Doom was released. Now if only they'd put out Wolfenstein....
Sam @ Jan 15th 2008 11:54AM
in the latest news flash, Duke Nukem, was rumored, announced and then cancelled following Goldeneye as the 2 greatest XBLA games never published.
dunnypop @ Jan 15th 2008 11:59AM
this will be out before duke nukem forever... which is probably never.

" I'm Gonna Rip Your Head Off, And Shit Down Your Neck"
One of the best lines ever spewed out in a video game.
The arcade will eventually become more profitable than the fee MS gets from gold subscribers.
But yea, this game hitting the arcade has been well known for some time now.
AL7AIR @ Jan 15th 2008 2:03PM
Well known? You mean hoped for by fans?! I just hope they don't release the watered down Nintendo version!
Chase @ Jan 15th 2008 2:04PM
Hail to the king, baby.

@Al7air
Yeah 3d realms announced this like 3 months ago that the Duke was comming, where you been?
AL7AIR @ Jan 15th 2008 6:32PM
Busy playing games I guess :) but if it's that official now, I may have to make some room for the Duke, and if he doesn't fit in I'll use the shrink gun ;)
Cass-D @ Jan 15th 2008 3:03PM
Duke Nukem' shoot when are they going to bring back Commander Keen? Damn now if thats not carbon dating myself I don't know what is.
Cass-D @ Jan 15th 2008 3:05PM
Gotta love the throwing cash at strippers and macho one liners; "Kill em' all let God Sort em out" but perhaps the most memorable is the "Its time to Kick Ass and Chew Bubble Gum, And I'm all out of Gum!" Love it.
CDN Crockett @ Jan 15th 2008 3:23PM
I'll be all over this one!
EmptyEnergy @ Jan 15th 2008 5:45PM
This is a core staple for XBLA. It should have been the debut game to show off Xbox Live for the 360. I will definetly go for Gold when this comes out.
Jonah Falcon @ Jan 15th 2008 10:11PM
Loved deathmatching way back when. Laser trip wire FTW!

@jonah
