3D Realms has confirmed that unlike Duke Nukem Forever, the Xbox Live Arcade version of Duke Nukem 3D is finished and due for release soon. A price point has been hinted at also, along with a list of achievements.
"We officially passed final cert on our first try Friday, August 15th," stated 3D Realms' George Broussard. When mentioning a price point, George said only that it had been discussed, and the game would cost "what you would expect."
Also revealed were the game's 12 Achievements, some of which fall in line with Duke Nukem's traditionally high-brow and subtle approach to humor. You can, for example, gain 10 Gamerscore for stepping in a pile of poo, or giving a tip to a stripper. All typically intellectual and introspective stuff that should really add a level of depth to this engaging, emotional experience.
You can view the full achievement list after the jump.
[Thanks, Carlos]

I remember being 12 years old and playing this on my (dad's) good ol' 90 MHz Pentium (WITH MMX TECHNOLOGY!). I'd always make sure the parents weren't in the room when I went in the strip club.
Besides "I've Got Balls of Steel", "It's time to kick ass and chew bubble gum. And I'm all out of gum." and "Heh, Heh, Heh, what a mess!"
That was the most memorable quote in my mind...
Someone had to do it.
I hope they bring the co-op mode back too, that would be awesome.
@-PL- A P90 with MMX doesn't exist.
Look a 47.5 mb that has been out for over 10 years and can be played on everything known to man possibley even tostars for most likely $10 whoo!
and look they did not change a damn thing as a bonus when you can get updated open GL high res versions to patch all the old versions of it for free!.

Oh my god, Old as PC games on xbox 360 with worse analog stick controls Im so happy!!.
I can't wait to see the humor an xbox 360 port of quake 3 will get.
Look it's like quake 3 and you can play it online with out a deicated server over microsoft over priced game service that does not give you real servers for most games
and as a bnous you get to play it all with sorry ass analog stick,
FUCK YES!
By the way Hollywood Holocaust in 3 minutes? Pah! How about 10 seconds?
Seeing quake 3 butchered and stuffed down would make me sick, I have already eeen it once on ps2 it was not pretty. the longist yard with an analog stick still gives me nightmares.
kinda like how how watching movies in VHS does now that there is DVD and bluray.
If you want these achievements, you'd better get the game at release and get 'em quick before the online multi-player dries up...
