Hopefully with the 4 player splitscreen from the Xbla version?

[TheFirstClassic]

Yep

[Fluttershy77]

yes hopefully? or yes it will

[TheFirstClassic]

It says local mp in the article

[CobraKai]

Awesome. I’ve been wanting to play OG Doom. There’s something that’s still incredibly satisfying about blasting an Imp with a shotgun.

[TheFirstClassic]

This is awesome

[NiteX]

How about some Doom 64?

[bluebenjamin]

Foreal and add Duke Nukem 64 while we at

[Concertoine]

The missing link between Doom 2 and 3, and one of my favorite Doom games

[Sirk7x]

If you have a modded switch, someone ported a PC version of Doom 64, best you can get at the moment :/

[SyntheticForm]

Bring back the PS1 Custom PlayStation Edition and format it for modern televisions. Best version of DOOM to date and that soundtrack knocks it out of the park.

That version suffered from limitations, be far better to have the original doom, the PS1 had to make sacrifices to get it to work because of the RAM limit

[Dom_Estos]

Well, then, you're obviously not aware of the PC port of it, which doesn't suffer from RAM limit. Doom TC it's called. And although it's a total conversion made by one person, what's Bethesda's excuse for not porting it, despite it being made by Williams?

[paulust2002]

Glad I’m not the only one that remembers that. Twisted my head, all them strobing lights and baby cries.

[Dom_Estos]

I agree. For me, personally, this is what Doom's true vision was all about. The music completely changed the tone of the game. A more fitting one to be honest, despite it having the exact same gameplay. I love the original midi score, but that, along with the game's art, was heavily influenced (some say plagiarised) at the time of development by the metal rock music that John Romero was into, so Id didn't really have anyone with a professional music composer background in the team like Aubrey Hodges.

[gangsta_red]

10000%! I remember getting this version for the PS and it was hands down the best version of Doom I have ever played. And hell yes, I was also blown away by the soundtrack.

[WPX]

That Aubrey Hodges soundtrack was scary as it was awesome. His Doom64 and Quake64 soundtracks were awesome too.

[TheColbertinator]

Add in Doom 64 too

[NapalmSanctuary]

It would be cool if Bethesda and Doom Reborn Mod creator came together to release Doom Reborn on current consoles.

[paulust2002]

And they aren’t ‘deluxe’ meaning decent costing. 3.99, 3.99 and 7.99 respectively. WICKED

[paulust2002]

Just to note, Wolfensteins MP spin off demo is out to. What a week!

[paulust2002]

Not out yet, not out yet, not out yet....Damn my impatience, I’m saving a poo for this moment

[TGGJustin]

All 3 of these just came out on PS4 as well.

[Elda]

Yep.

[Atomicjuicer]

WOOOW! Doom 3 purchased and downloading to my Switch within about 30 seconds of reading this!!!!!!!

[Goldenhawk521]

Do u know if it's the BFG version or the original Doom 3?

[Razmiran]

Bfg

[pietro1212]

Just downloaded Doom 3 on my Switch

[ocelot07]

Also releasing on PS4/XB1 and mobile

[Atomicjuicer]

I wonder will they have controller support on mobile

[Elda]

Bought all 3 today for my Pro for only $20.

[King_Noctis]

All 3 on the Switch cost around the same as the PS4 version as well.

[Elda]

Ok....&?

[King_Noctis]

Just fyi mate. The Switch versions are not expensive than the other versions like they often are.

[Elda]

Why do you feel the need to tell me this? I never made any type of price comparison,I just stated that I got all 3 games for $20 & I would think the prices are the same across all platforms.

[ZeekQuattro]

I like how more and more retro games are getting releases. It's exciting to see what games make the cut.

[AK91]

Awesome

[DasTier]

Can anyone confirm which controllers are supported for the Doom & Doom II? The eShop only lists the pro controller.

[ScootaKuH]

Been waiting for this! I have to wait until I get my Switch Lite in September though 😭

[REDGUM]

aghhhh, where's the ps4 release info?????
I need me Doom Fix!!

[plmkoh]

Fully sick, Doom 3 on portable.

[Minute Man 721]

Damn, I'm running Doom II on the X right
