In a recent chat thread over at Shacknews, 3D Realms' George Broussard expressed interest in developing an Xbox 360 Live Arcade version of Duke Nukem ... pending Microsoft's approval.
"Truth be told, we've talked to Microsoft about it and have some people that would port it," he wrote. "Just waiting on the good word from Microsoft to continue."
Broussard refused further comment, but confirmed the accuracy of the statements with Shacknews. With Duke Nukem Forever seeming less and less like a reality as the industry's collective high wears off, this might be the best chance fans have to cap a LARD officer in HD.

Microsoft, don't be cocks!
Before.
Probably. That's what I imagine anyway. Notice how they didn't specify Duke Nukem 3D. I'm guessing they mean the original sidescrollers. They'll most likely release Duke Nukem 1 and 2.
I don't want the old side scroller.
If they do bring this out, the should bring out Duke Caribbean as downloadable content. That would be awesome.
Actually they did, QFT:
Little has been heard about the legendary Duke Nukem Forever recently, but Duke series developer 3D Realms does want to bring its classic 1996 shooter Duke Nukem 3D to Xbox 360's Xbox Live Arcade.
i would accept the side scrollers, but 3d was a blast to play, even if i had to not play it when my mother was around. [;
