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 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.

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.

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....

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.

Well known? You mean hoped for by fans?! I just hope they don't release the watered down Nintendo version!

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 ;)
