Whoa, didn't see this one coming! I wonder if they will keep or censor the strip club boob thing? I'm betting now that this will turn into some kinda divisive drama closer to release.

From a visual and gameplay standpoint, I absolutely hated Doom and Duke Nukem because of the stiff/vertically non-existent aiming.

Being able to play these classic games with PROPER controls is a game changer to me. Especially with motion aiming it should become a whole new experience and way more enjoyable.

Not complaining, but I do hope we'll see physical releases of the released DOOM games and this game on Switch. It would be kinda weird to only have Ion Fury in that format.

Yeeeaah booooy.
This might be my 2nd or 3rd most bought game right behind Doom and Resident Evil 4.

 

[Rat Rage]

I'm also hype for the local wireless multiplayer. This should be sick. It's like a mini-LAN. You don't even need to bring your monitors.

Nice

"A masterpiece to this day, Duke Nukem 3D is done proud by this Switch conversion. It looks and runs briliantly, the online options are a welcome inclusion and it's not compromised in any way from its earlier console release. It's a shame that a handful of previously-available expansion packs are missing, but given the low price of World Tour Edition, it feels churlish to complain. In the words of the Duke himself, come get some."

Gyro controls seem broken on switch lite.

Ok on OG switch

It's also the cheapest it's even been on the steam sale right now.

I bought it for 1.99 on switch because I had 3 dollars and change in gold coins.
