Rumor: XBLA to come get some Duke Nukem 3D

by Dustin Burg { Jan 15th 2008 at 11:00AM }

We've had our share of rumors surrounding XBLA releases as of late, so many that our head has been metaphorically spinning in an effort to keep track of them all. But, it's another day and that means we have to accept the fact that we've got another XBLA rumor. So, let's get to it ... Duke Nukem 3D to the Xbox Live Arcade!

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.

Nice. I hope it turns out. I thought 3D Realms had talked about this in the past too.

I couldn't resist.

"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)!

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....

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.
