Side-scroller Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project is indeed being re-released, moving from to Live sometime this year.

The game popped up on the official Xbox website, where you can read a cursory description of the game. No release date, sadly.

Although the game is rendered in 3D, you pursue the villain Mech Morphix along a set path. 9 level with 3 stages apiece will return from the original game. No word on new levels or other additional content is provided on the website.

Previously the Arcade port had been hinted at by a ratings listing on the ESRB's website. While no release date has been announced, the listing makes a release by summer's end likely.
