Wolfenstein 3D rated by the ESRB for the PS3 and Xbox 360 photo

Whoops. The ESRB rated another title we didn’t know about. Recently, the organization listed id Software’s first-person shooter classic Wolfenstein 3D, presumably as an Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network title.

Chances of a Wolf 3D port seem good. id just released an iPhone version of the game and, perhaps more importantly, they’re gearing up for a fully-featured current generation title. I smell cross promotion. (I don’t mind.)

My fondest memories of Wolfenstein 3D actually have nothing to do with the action. My thoughts linger on the game's walls. I would scout hallways for hours on end, endlessly tapping on the keyboard as B.J. ran against a level’s geometrical boundaries. I wanted every little hidden treasure, ammo box, and armor.

Unfortunately, I never lived long enough to enjoy the spoils. The FPS was an entirely new concept to me at the time. Now, I’m all sorts of battle-hardened. Bring it on, Activision. I eat Nazi dogs for breakfast.

The Activision thing is strange though. Why would id need another company if it's only a downloadable game?

Mostly because Activision Blizzard owns some publishing rights to the Wolfenstein franchise and they want money.

And I'm looking forward to that game, I love old school FPS, can't wait till it comes --- oh wait. It won't be released in Germany anyway.

Give me all 3 acts with multiplayer, like Doom (on Xbox Live), make it $5 and I'll buy it day one.

Even though I love(d) Wolfenstein 3d when it came out the original Castle Wolfenstein for Atari 800/Commodore 64 will always be my favorite.

As much as a classic roflenstein 3D is, I would rather have Return to Castle Wolfensten.

Also, just pick up Return to Castle Wolfenstein for Xbox instead. It's backwards compatible on the 360. It includes Wolfenstein 3D as an unlockable.

You can get it for 10 bucks.

@Tornadojo:

I love you, man.

"Achtung! Kommen sie! Kaput!" And SYS 2049 immediately when you were killed/captured.

God damn, that brings back a ton of memories.

I have to say, I'm shocked that a site that links to other sites doesn't read/listen to other sites and podcasts.

Wolfen3D for XBLA has been known for at least a week or two. I think it was at least mentioned on 1up last week.
