Duke Nukem 2 is coming to an iPhone and iPad near you soon

In celebration of it's 20th birthday, Duke Nukem 2 will be resurrecting and moving from a PC based shooter to something you can play on your iOS based iPhone and iPad. The side scrolling shooter that many of us wore keyboards out playing is set to hit the App Store in April.

3D Realms and Interceptor Entertainment are working on porting the original 32 levels to iOS, and the game will feature new music and touchscreen support. The developer claims the game will cost just $1.99, which puts it in that sweet spot to sell many copies for those looking for a nostalgic throwback.

Nostalgic games are becoming a major hit on mobile devices recently, with official games like Sonic, Final Fantasty, Doom, and even Duke Nukem 3D being ported over to iOS. If we were to see classics like Super Mario Brothers, Punch Out and Contra, I might consider purchasing an iPad just to play them.
