Duke Nukem 3D Out on Vita and PS3, Free for PS Plus Users

The tons are mega.

The classic 3D version of Duke Nukem seems to be fairing much better than the more recent Duke Nukem Forever. We've seen a version of Duke Nukem 3D on XBLA last generation, and we saw PC owners get the Megaton version with improved visuals and added 8 player co-op, and now its Sony system owner's turn. 

Duke Nukem 3D Megaton Edition has hit the PS3 and PlayStation Vita for just $9.99 with cross-buy and cross play support. The game is also free for PS owners for the month of January. It features the same 8 player co-op that was added to the PC version, a bump up from four that was available on the classic. Included with the game are four campaigns.

Duke Nukem 3D: Atomic Edition - Enhanced version of the iconic shooter with all four officially releasedepisodes with smoother visuals and new PlayStation trophies.

Duke Caribbean: Life's a Beach - Grab your water gun and sunscreen as Duke battles vacationing aliens inbeach side hotels, tropical lagoons and even a cruise ship!

Duke It Out in D.C. - Duke takes his special brand of politics to Washington D.C. to turn back the alien invasionset against the White House, the Lincoln Memorial, and even FBI headquarters.

Duke: Nuclear Winter - Take a brutal walk through this winter wonderland as Duke gets into the holiday spirit bybringing the battle to the North Pole!

 

From what we've played of the game it's a really solid port and looks especially great on the PlayStation Vita. This could be a great way to experience those PC LAN Parties of the late 90s again, but in a much more portable platform. Who knows, perhaps the subway to work will spontaneously break out in an 8 player Dukematch.
