Duke Nukem 3D Hits Xbox Live

According to Xboxic (which cites Game Trailers TV), the Xbox Live Arcade version of Duke Nukem 3D is scheduled for release next week.
The rumors and speculation surrounding the Duke Nukem 3D sequal, Duke Nukem Forever, mean that anytime we hear something Duke-related that seems like it could be solid, verified information, we take it with a pinch of salt. However, we’re tentatively getting excited about the release of the XBL version of DN3D, which we’re apparently going to see next next Wednesday.
Fans of Duke Nukem are blue in the face holding their breath for Duke Nukem Forever. The sequel announced the year after Duke 3D was released has been in the works for the last 11 years. We’ve seen it at E3 twice and the rumor mill has been kicked into overdrive more times than we can count. To some fans the re-release of Duke 3D might seem a little boring, however, it’s not all bad.
The XBL version of Duke Nukem isn’t going to be a carbon copy of what you played in 1996. Back then you didn’t have the luxury of online multiplayer and co-op (for up to eight people), in game clip-recording and the ability to rewind to any point in a level.
No words on price yet but we reckon it’ll be a hit no matter what the price. You can’t put a price on nostalgia.

I remember playing Duke Nukem 3D on the TEN network, expensive as hell but worth it. So online duke gaming is not something new.
Just reinstall it in Dosbox? Xbox version is sure to suck like Duke Nukem 64.
If it ever does come out, it will definitely set a world record!
With all the hardware and software (DirectX) changes that have occurred in the last 11 years, one would have to wonder if any of the code in the final release survived those 11 years.
I ain't got time to play with myself.
if gamers where holding their breaths for DN3D, they wouldn't be blue in the face, they would be long since dead and mummified.

DNF won a Lifetime Achievement Award for vaporware. I'll believe it when I see it. Regardless, I won't be buying an Xbox just to play it.

You might need to recalculate that figure, sport, I loved Duke Nukem 3D back in the day and I'm only 21 as of today's date.
I believe I first got the atomic edition from a friend in '96. I probably "shouldn't" have played it since I was only about 9, but it was one of those games that slipped past my parents' radar.
By the way, what was wrong with Duke Nukem 64? I know it didn't necessarily have the same level of "Duke" like in DN3D but it was still fun.
Hmm let me see: the graphics, the sound, the annoying control pad, lack of TEN online multiplayer. Why play it on anything but the original port, I don't understand your point Ryun.

My mistake, when you said Duke Nukem 64 I thought you were talking Zero Hour. I didn't even realize that they ported Duke Nukem 3D to the 64, probably because I was having too much fun with the original. =)
