While the Duke Nukem Trilogy trailer was a blast, it told us absolutely nothing about the planned handheld trilogy. Fortunately, Apogee’s Terry Nagy is a little more forthcoming. He says the games will see Duke as “the Forest Gump of World War II”, and in doing so explain how he got the name Duke Nukem. And how do you do a “Forrest Gump in WWII” storyline? Nagy says you do it like this: “It was really Duke that sunk the Bismarck. It wasn’t the British”. The games will be appearing on both PSP and DS, but judging from the state of that trailer, they won’t be appearing for a while.
Duke Nukem Trilogy Details: Duke Heads to WW2, Apogee Talks Possible PC Release & DS Censorship [Shacknews]
What do you do when E3 rolls around and you’ve got nothing to show? You fudge it, and you do what these guys did, and just go make something awesome. Be sure to stick around for the crotch zoom.
Wow. Apogee. That’s a name I’ve not heard since, oh, before you were born! But hear it again we will, because the classic PC publisher (or at least the name, ala Atari) is back from the dead, and is bringing one of its classic franchises with it. The company has announced that it’ll be releasing three new Duke Nukem games (if you’re as old as I am, you’ll remember Apogee publishing the original Duke Nukem side-scrollers on PC) to the “handheld console market”. Also announced are plans to revive more of its “legacy catalogue”, so if you’d like to start praying for a current-gen Rise Of The Triad, go ahead and be my guest.
