Duke Nukem 3D: Megaton Edition

Duke Nukem 3D: Megaton Edition temporarily launched in Europe earlier this week, but the port must have been all out of gum, as it’s since been removed from the PlayStation 3 and Vita storefronts. In truth, this is likely just another example of SCEE’s incompetence – we’re still waiting for Costume Quest 2, by the way – as publisher Devolver Digital has attached a 13th January release date to the title in North America. It’ll get down and dirty in the Old World on the following day.

To be honest, we’re not entirely sure why the company’s holding this back until the New Year, as those who managed to purchase it earlier in the week claim that Abstraction Games has done a fabulous job with the port. Considering that every other game in existence is due out this month, though, we can only assume that this is a marketing move – after all, Duke ain’t quite the king that he used to be.
