Duke Nukem 3D is hitting XBLA on September 24 photo

Duke Nukem 3D developer, 3D Realms, are like highway maintenance workers. Every morning on your way to work, you notice them standing around a hole laughing and talking instead of working. When you drive past again later in the afternoon, you notice the them doing the same thing, but this time the hole is just a little bit more shallow. According to 1UP (via GameTrailers TV) it appears as though the Duke Nukem hole just got a few lumps of dirt in it. The XBLA title, Duke Nukem 3D, will be ready to download on September 24.

The game will span 28 levels complete with flushable toilets, aliens, and, of course, babes. Even though it is a remake, the XBLA version will have a few new options, the best of which is a “rewind feature” that will allow players to go back in time in the game in case they fall off a ledge or clip through a wall. The game will also have saved films, so you can prove to your friends that 3D Realms actually developed a new Duke game.

There isn’t an official price yet, but the 800-1200 Microsoft points range seems to be all the rage these days. Are you guys ready for some Duke Nukem 3D action?

I don't know. I like the series and all, and I do have DN 3D. So... I don't know if it's relevant to my interests just yet.

I played this when I was 7 or 9. I played way too much that I'm just only waiting for Duke Nukem Forever. Did anyone notice the White Bronco truck in the tv oj car in the game. :)

I remeber clicking the projector to get to the woman.

So, this is how they fund DNF, instead of actually releasing DNF to fund their future projects.

I literally squealed when I read this on my mobile when I was having a smoke break at work.

Looks like I'll be getting some points between now and the 24th.

Going to go out on a limb and assume this port's done out of house. Wouldn't want the 3DR dudes to have to, you know, stop playing WoW or whatever.

Complete with nipple tassels? Throwing money? Kicking hookers to death? 1990 action movie one-liners? Will I finally be able to play Duke Nukem online?!

Quick, somebody touch me. I've got a total boner.

Hmm, Megaman 9 AND Duke Nukem 3D in the same week (Allegedly)?

They're either crazy, or 9 isn't coming out that week . . .

I'm so glad they are giving us a rewind option in case we clip through a wall.
It would be even nicer if they just fixed the game so you couldn't clip through walls.

I don't care what else is coming out the same week, I know where my moon money is going.

I'm looking forward to some classic Duke far more than this Forever vaporware.

As long as multiplayer isn't messed with, then I'm gonna be swimmin in a fish tank on the 25th.
