What about folks who already purchased Doom and Doom II separately on the Switch when they first came out?
Hi, thanks for your comment. Though it doesn’t appear to say so on the eShop page, it seems that owning either game will get you the new stuff for free. I’ve now updated the post to reflect that.
Well, all older Doom games been on sale at multiple points for barely $1, I can’t blame them for charging customers for this. Though you don’t have to buy it.
Seeing that DOS era Doom is still getting new episodes 30 years later is epic. I’ll definitely be playing that!
Always have been, always will!
Still got my “D00M II” big box from way back when!
Stil slayin’ them demons going on thirty odd years!
Nice! I wish I had the Doom II big box! Maybe I’ll go on eBay and buy a copy one of these days.
Cool, I have Doom 1 on my switch, I might give it a look
