Unless it's a very bad port there should be no issues.

The Original DOOM, DOOM II, And DOOM 3 Have All Surprise Launched On Nintendo Switch, PS4, and Xbox One [see threadmarks for FAQ]

I will say the expansions are true gems though. Some real interesting close quarter combat design.
D64 is secretly my favourite doom game in many ways - I just cannot get enough of its look and sound.
That's a myth, it had mouse support when it launched and the demos the game runs all use the mouse for input as confirmed by Romero
I love Doom 2016 but it feels like a sequel to Brutal Doom, not the original Doom. Doom 3 captures the dread that the original Doom had. I love Doom 3.
Awesome.
Would have been even better had Doom 64 been included. I wonder if this will be a different port than the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions that have been recycled for a while now.

Stream of Eternal today
Of course its the best day to do it !
Kinda off topic, but this makes me wonder the possibility of an Apogee Collection released on Switch.
DOOM 64 is what DOOM 3 should have been. It was super dark with a strong horror vibe which made it unique, but it also felt like classic DOOM at the same time. Such a gem.
Yeah, but mouse input in the original DOS version is pretty lousy, I feel. It doesn't really work or feel like modern mouse/key combinations.
I don't really think that's fair. You can't look at these games through the lens of 2019 and decide what they should be.
For 2004, Doom 3 was the right kind of experience. I don't think a Doom 64 style game would have done all that well - it would have been considered dated even if it was awesome. That was already true of Doom 64. I think it's one of the best games on N64 but it was viewed as old and uninteresting when it launched.
omg omg omg! this is fantastic news! pete wasn't playing when he said this:
Pumped for some portable classic Doom outside of the GBA
I set up gyro on Doom 2 a few months ago for a LAN party and it was surprisingly intuitive so I'd say yes.
Can? Probably. Is there any need for it though? I don't see how it would improve the game in anyway. The game is desig ed around auto aim and no up down aiming so you don't need precise aiming to play it. Biggest things you need to learn to be able to play it is dodging and thinking fast. That includes needing fast aim (and again the game auto aims so there is no need for precision).
I've been able to get it close to feeling like a modern shooter control scheme, but the mouse always feels really sluggish. When playing in DOS the best I've found is go with a WASD for movement, and then the arrow keys for turning and shooting.
Fair enough. I'd say DOOM 3 is the one that would stand to benefit the most from gyro.
Kinda mediocre, tbh. DOOM 3 excels at atmosphere and world building, as well as exploration, more than anything.
QuakeCon begins at 11AM EST (40mins from now), so it should be uber soon for them to be officially released.
I absolutely love Doom 3 but it's closer to FEAR than Doom which is why people hate it.
Kinda like if the originals were Army of Darkness, then Doom 3 is more the original Evil Dead. Except in this scenario, Army of Darkness is the greatest movie ever made.
Hopefully you're right, although Xbox One already has the X360 versions of these games running through backwards compatibility. And the descriptions for these don't mention online multiplayer, something you did have on X360. We'll see how these ports are in an hour or two at this point probably.
They gotta sort out Doom 64's rights and officially release it someday. It is better than Doom 2 in everyway.
Doom 3 definetly would benefit from gyro. Same goes to the Quake series (hopefully atleast the first one aka the best gets a port to consoles).
pretty much. i'm convinced it's gonna happen, and it's super well deserved at this point.
Seperately, and not as a package? That's outstanding. Essentially Doom Classic Collection on Switch. Get the hell out of here!
(or into my Switch at least)

how is it anything like fear? I love both games but they are so dissimilar. Fear is about bullet time and tactical shooting which are not aspects of doom 3.
It is probably not even that. Final Doom and the Master Levels don't seem to be included. (I am not sure about No Rest for The Living episode though. I hope it is included because it is an awesome and very well designed episode).
pages probably went up prematurely, will be up once they're officially announced.
Pages got pushed live prematurely, they'll be back after the QuakeCon keynote
Oh hell yes!
DOOM 3 ain't great, but it's ok, and I want to see it in handheld mode for sure.
DOOM and DOOM II for sure.

That's not what I'm doing though. I've been saying that for as long as I can remember.
DOOM 3 was a colossal disappointment to me, even back when it was fresh. DOOM 64 on the other hand was special when it launched and remains special to this day.
