The remaster of 1996 classic, Duke Nukem 3D, is finally coming to the Nintendo Switch with new content and features. Duke Nukem 3D: 20th Anniversary Edition World Tour first released across PC, PS4, and Xbox One back in 2016 and was a well received update to the original. The Switch port is being handled by SONKA Games and includes motion aiming, HD rumble, and local wireless multiplayer options. An entirely new episode (Episode 5) has also been developed for this release that features 8 new levels from Duke 3D’s original designers Allen Blum III, and Richard “Levelord” Gray. New music from Lee Jackson and dialog from Jon St. John has also been made for this new episode to give it an authentic Duke Nukem feel.
