Duke Nukem 3D. Long rumored to be heading to the Xbox Live Arcade when,
back in January, rumor-word told us that Duke would be gracing the XBLA in a "few months". A few months passed, then a few more and even a few more and still we have no
Duke Nukem 3D (cough, vaporware, cough). But wait, what's this? Two new screenshots sent to Joystiq by a tipster showcasing the
Duke gracing the Arcade. With co-op mentioned in an achievement description too? Yummy yum! It's rumor for now, but we have a hunch that the XBLA
Duke will steer clear of the vaporware bin. Though, the same cannot be said for
the other Duke.

Is nostalgia really worth 800 ms points or however much this is going to cost? I mean that game was fun way back when but I wouldn't waste my time on it at all with many better shooters out there -- Halo, Call of Duty, Gears of War, Crysis...
The demo would serve enough nostalgia for me. Plus, I have grown to hate 3D realms so I'd rather not give them my money.

I don't think you can underestimate the power of a $10 FPS that anyone can get without leaving their house... particularly if they force the online portion to work.

You're one of those people who hates watching movies that are in black and white, right? Can't stand reading classic novels? Skip over the classic rock station and head straight for the Nu-Rock?

etchasketch, i bet you're one of those people that makes gross generalizations about other people over the internet. How's that workin out for ya?
You did answer my question though. Apparently nostalgia _is_ worth $10 to you. Me? I've been taken by nostalgia before. I learned my lesson. I'll spend my $10 somewhere else.
Now if they released the N64 version of Tetris, I may have to go for some nostalgia. The difference there is that that's the greatest version of tetris ever released. Duke nukem 3d and doom and whatever that bungie game is (millennium or some shit) -- they can all go to nostalgia hell because they're no fun anymore.

This release, if it happens will easly make this the hands down best FPS game in the arcade.
Hell maybe the best Arcade game period.

I'd love the play this on XBLA but I have one problem with the screenshots show that it is rated M but the ESRB site has no ratings info posted for an XBLA version of this game.

The ESRB quit posting game rating information on unannounced games.
That is why you can't find it.
