According to a new listing on Xbox.com, 3D Realms’ 2002 side-scrolling action title, Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project, is definitely coming to Xbox LIVE Arcade.

The Xbox.com confirmation follows an earlier appearance by the game on the ESRB website.

First released in 2002, Manhattan Project was generally well received, earning review scores in the 70-80 per cent range.

The blurb from Xbox.com states: “Duke Nukem is back in Duke Nukem Manhattan Project! New York City is being overrun by a mutant menace and it’s time to de-worm the Big Apple. This explosive 3-D action game features the politically incorrect action hero defending the city that never sleeps, and its babes, from the evil Mech Morphix across 24 levels from Chinatown to Space. A super-sized collection of weapons, enemies and bosses await. As Duke would say, ‘Babes, bullets, bombs. Man, I love this job!'”

The listing also states the game will run in 1080p.
