Review Duke Nukem 3D: 20th Anniversary World Tour - A Timeless FPS Classic Comes To Switch
Got any gum?
Always bet on Duke. It seemed only a matter of time before Duke Nukem 3D cropped up on the Switch; after all, it'd be downright odd for him to miss a format. Sure, there was Bulletstorm: Duke of Switch Edition, but that's not real Duke. This, however, is. It's the magnum opus of the series, when the Duke was in fine fettle, yet to be...

@Sean161 Does it play well?

It plays very well, 60fps and all.
I only have one minor issue with the controls, and it's that switching from one weapon to the next feels sluggish. Like, you hit the button to switch to the next weapon, and it takes a good whole second (maybe slightly more) before actually doing the switch. Like, there's a good delay in carrying over your action. Doesn't hamper my enjoyment of this awesome game, but I hope they'll issue a patch at some point to fix this.
I also was completely stuck at some point where I had all the required key cards, and despite that, some doors didn't open. It was odd as it was a level I knew and completed many times in the past.
Another very, very minor thing is that they don't list when a save game was actually saved. Only the level is listed, which sometimes make it hard to remember which one you used (unless you always overwrite in the same slot). I also haven't found an auto-save option (so remember to save before quitting).
Other than that, I'm having a blast replaying this. I'll surely enjoy the added levels as well.
This is the best version of this game there's ever been. I've been playing this since I was a kid in the 90's and this is the only version of it I would now play. The inclusion of the "True 3D" makes a massive difference and it's good that you can switch between that and the old style.
The inclusion of a new campaign and all the commentary from the makers of the game is a really nice touch too.
