Another Free Add-On Is Now Available For Classic Doom On Switch

So what’s in this pack? Your writer didn’t make this clear!

The only WAD pack that I hope gets added is UAC Ultra. Look it up, it's a crazy one.

@NoNoseNosferatu Quoting the article, “His own add-on includes 25 "fast, punchy levels" that offer a fair challenge and pure fun.”

@nessisonett didn’t see that, thanks.

Been working for almost twenty hours, so I’m a bit loopy.

@Liam_Doolan thank you, L.

Holy smokes. I am still trying to play my way through every add-on in classic DOOM, and now another... this is easily one of the best values on the eShop. Thanks, id and Bethesda!

This is great! They could have gone the release-a-functional-version-and-call-it-day route that many developers take with their retro releases, but they're clearly determined to make this a proper tribute to one of the most important landmarks in gaming history.
Very well done, id and Bethesda.

If they do this for Brutal Doom, my life will take a major step towards completion.

Yes there's always room for more Doom.

The gift that keeps on giving Clark 😂

@bretfrag I'd go nuts if they added Brutal Doom. Fingers crossed.

fantastic, these were £1 at one point best value on switch

Really wish they would release a physical compilation of 1-3 with add ons

@Bunkerneath and 64.

Another wad pack, and for free... Can't complain at free... Will have to try this out.

Yeah this is nice and all but, where the hell is DOOM Eternal?!!

Doom. The little abandonware that could. I wonder when this version will get added to pc.

@StarFoxRunner Unfortunately, that one uses DeHackEd for custom monsters, which the new ports don't support.

@JJtheTexan all this stuff is free anyway, always has been. Doom itself is now freeware. You are right though, this IS great that Bethesda had the thoughtful notion of adding some of Dooms mods to their budget console release. I am sure they realise what a positive impact the simple things have on their often shaky reputation.
Long live Doom.

Another megawad that doesn't have new/custom music? Seriously Bethesda?

@FargusPelagius You can also google FreeDoom and find the someone even made replacement IWADs to go with the open source engine. This basically replaces the commercial IWADs of Doom and Doom 2 with new levels, graphics, and music so anyone can play all the WAD files people have created over the years. So you realistically can enjoy all these extras completely free on any PC (Windows, Mac or Linux).

@Darknyht been doing it for years

They have certainly supported this release well.

Can't find DOOM playable nowadays. Shooting without cursor is like torture

@Darlinfan Uhh... I never implied they had anything to do with the creation of these wads. My complaint is there are tons of great megawads out there that DO have custom music, but Bethesda never grabs those.. Literally every wad they've added since the big January update(when final doom, sigil and no rest for the living were added) has no new midi tracks. This is Double Impact, No End in Sight and now Deathless. I also find it incredibly ironic that guy who made Deathless also made the music for SIGIL, yet he did not make music for his own megawad here. Like WTF?

Also, what are you talking about? Plutonia does NOT have custom music dude. Although funny enough some passionate fans actually made an excellent music pack for it several years ago(it's on youtube if you want to hear it), though I doubt Bethesda will ever add it. I even went to the bethesda.net Doom forum and begged them to add it, but I'm sure my request will fall on deaf ears...

@Darlinfan : Plutonia doesn't have any original music, though I do recall that TNT had some (but I believe that they reused some tracks from previous games as well), but, yes, that is hardly the fault of Bethesda. Awfully stingy of iD to have not commissioned original music for Final DOOM back in the day considering that it was a full-priced retail release (US$60) and comprised mostly of reused assets).

@tendonerd : DOOM was at no point "abandonware".

Still getting the "you already have the latest version" message. When is it actually due?

@Moroboshi876 There is no software update involved. You just boot up the game, go to the add on menu and it will be available there to download.

@vio Thanks a lot. I didn't know (I haven't booted the game up yet), and up until now they announced the wads along with patches, so I just assumed it all came together.
