GDC09: Duke Nukem Games Are Coming… But on DS/PSP

Duke Nukem fans have been waiting for Duke’s return for some time. It’s been ages since we’ve last heard, or seen, anything about the currently-in-development, Duke Nukem Forever. We were eye-fucked last year with a quick trailer showing off Duke’s new looks, and ass kicking techniques that he’s brining to the table. Screenshots were posted in December 2008 displaying a crisp, nice-textured models of the game which, off the bat, gave me a boner. So, there is a Duke Nukem game coming out. However, it’s not the one you’re thinking about. No, no. It’s coming out for Sony’s PSP and Nintendo’s DS. Duke Nukem Forever is going to have to wait a couple of more years.

Apogee’s Duke Nukem Trilogy has already stuck it to Duke Nukem Forever with its super awesome trailer. Hell, it has surpassed Duke Nukem Forever because the damn game actually exists, for crying out loud. And, to make Forever feel more like a piece of shit, it’s sort of like… six games!

OhGizmo explains that Duke Nukem Trilogy features three games, which have the same stories, but are presented in a different style on DS than on PSP. The PSP versions are M-rated, with content that will be “tasteful, but it’ll still be Duke.” Don’t fucking change the Duke, people. He’s fine the way he is – looking like a racist hillbilly that works for the MIB. He’s cool as is. Porn star name and all. So, for you DS owners thinking about sporting this new Duke Nukem title, know that the DS versions will be T-rated. Meaning you won’t be hearing curse words as much, if not at all, and seeing any tits being exposed by those sexay strippers.

So, what the great news about all this? Well, for one, this is the first playable Duke Nukem game in ages. Duke Nukem: Critical Mass was actually there being played by everyone and their mother on both the PSP and the DS. Slowly, it seems as if Duke Nukem Forever might yet again slip into the abyss of delay and silence. 3DRealms, I think it’s about fucking time you give us something to look at besides wallpapers (although they do look nice). I have little patience… very little patience.
