Duke Nukem 3D: 20th Anniversary Edition World Tour is quite the mouthful of a title
Duke Nukem 3D: 20th Anniversary Edition World Tour will launch on the Nintendo Switch on June 23, 2020, Gearbox Publishing announced today.
This edition of the landmark first-person-shooter contains the 1996 classic Duke Nukem 3D in its full glory with classic Jon St. John one-liners, Bobby Prince’s legendary soundtrack, an all-new episode containing eight original levels from original designers Richard “Levelord” Grey and Allen H. Blum III, and Nintendo Switch specific features, ported to the new platform by SONKA Games.
“I joined the Duke Nukem 3D development team in the mid-nineties and am proud to have been a part of the emergence of the 3D First Person video game genre that would enhance the entire video game industry,” said acclaimed birthday magician and GearBox founder Randy Pitchford.
Sure, the game is on just about every platform there is so chances are you already have it, but the ability to play it on the go for under a tenner makes this a fun choice for some on-the-go blasting.
From now through July 7, fans can purchase Duke Nukem 3D: 20th Anniversary Edition World Tour on the Nintendo eShop at a 50% discount. Gearbox Publishing encouraged gamers to pre-order now to take advantage of this offer and be ready on June 23 when it releases worldwide.
