It was a shadow drop

http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/07/the_original_doom_doom_ii_and_doom_3_have_all_surprise_launched_on_nintendo_switch

To celebrate DOOM's 25th anniversary, the original 1993 DOOM, DOOM II and DOOM 3 have all magically appeared on the Nintendo Switch eShop. Say whaaaat?!

Yep, all three games have just appeared on Nintendo's official UK site and they're all coming out today. They're not actually live to buy on the eShop just yet strangely, but we assume they'll be ready to purchase very soon indeed.

Can the Switch even adequately run the last gen ports of Doom 3? That one was underwhelming and very un-Doom but at least it had incredible lighting and graphics.

Switch apparently can't run Dragon Quest Builders 2 or the upcoming Link's Awakening remake at a consistent 30 fps, so it's not too surprising that people are starting to patronize The Little Switch That Couldn't.


"Can't run" is just a lazy cop out from lazy developers or greedy, 0 effort pubishers.

The SNES/Genesis had very, very decent versions of arcade games such as the street fighter 2 and mortal kombat series. Were they exact, pixel-by-pixel ports? Fuck no.

Heck, even the humble 8 bit game gear had a fairly decent port of Mortal Kombat 2. "Can't run" is a poor excuse.

The dragon quest builders 2 people threw a hissy fit because they Switch couldn't handle a straight port and threw heir hands up in the air. Straight ports weren't even a thing until the ps2 era.

Literally any game can be ported to Switch but the question will and always forever be how much will a game be downscaled or downgraded to run efficiently on what's basically a high end smartphone processor.
I'm genuinely curious because the thought of playing a PC game on high settings on a handheld is intriguing. I don't know what to tell you if you're bothered by that, but when it comes to Switch it is what it is.

And in typical Nintendo fashion they will cost two or three times more than anywhere else.

Doom 1 and 2 are $5 each with 3 being $10.

That said, the fact you need to log in or create a Bethesda account before you can even play these ports is bullcrap. Hope that gets patched out.

The first two Dooms should come with each other for 5 bucks. And plus you have to for some reason sign up for the Bethesda to even play it .. Naw.

Yea when the guy dropped that thing on the floor you could still read it on the PC low settings. On Switch it was just blurred out like it was being censored.

Initial impressions of Doom on Switch - it seems to be a pretty bare-bones port, and is especially disappointing compared to the Xbox live arcade version which looked and ran much better. It doesn't seem to run at 1080p in docked mode, however it does seem to be a native 720p in portable mode, so it looks a lot better in portable mode.
This is contrasted with Doom 3, which runs at a native 1080p 60fps using the BFG edition remastered assets.

I can confirm it runs at 1080p 60fps, and it's the remastered version

The Switch is more powerful than the PS3/360. So yes it can run it just fine.
