People have been making jokes about the wholesome pairing of Doomguy (from DOOM) and Isabelle (from Animal Crossing) since the meme started, and after ringing in the new year in January together, they're finally confirmed to be in the same game.
Sure, the game is Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, a game that's all about punching each other to death, but sometimes the best friendships are forged in fire, you know?
DOOM's reaction to the news is understated:
...but what we really want to know is how Isabelle feels about this. As the person/dog running the Animal Crossing account, she's mostly been covering updates and Halloween stuff, and has yet to acknowledge the friendship between her and Doomguy.
It's okay, Isabelle — we know that you can't tweet private stuff on your work account.

Ya at least. (Love how this became a thing BTW)
Better than the character we got? I'm split on it just concerned that Sora has Disney chained to his foot.
The power of friendship is able to overcome any obstacle! Very fitting for the reveal of Kingdom Hearts character
Wish DOOM guy came with a music track though
It so cute! Excited to have my Isabelle Mii and Doom guy Mii fight as a team now!
I wouldn't mind a Doomguy helm to hang in my Animal Crossing house tbf.
@MajinSoul I imagine your posts in Orpheus's voice and it's very strange to hear him talk about things like "the power of friendship"
@Just_2_milky Since it would be in the "other" category, you could have "The only thing they fear is you" playing over nintendogs. I wish we got that.
Having this meme come to life in Smash bros is probably the best thing that came out of this presentation lol
Holy crap. This didn’t even occur to me.
Expect many, many, MANY screenshots to quickly surface.
Best Friends Forever ❤
What a clever cross over that Microsoft and Nintendo did
I hadn’t even thought about it being a nendoroid version of doomguy. Hah this is good!
@Jackpaza0508 I would have used a slot for doom guy just for the music
Smash Bros really does make dreams (and beautiful nightmares) come true.
Removed - disrespecting others
The internet is weird
@Kevember You don't even have to be an otaku to have fun with memes...?
@Zeldawakening
It was probably bound to happen before Microsoft even acquired Bethesda. I feel like the credit should go to Bethesda.
@Kevember I get the cringe factor from stuff like this. It would have been more subtle just as a meme, instead of getting tweets and news articles about it.
I aways laugh at that picture because it looks like Isabelle is getting them 'good goods'.
@Kevember Yeah it's an audience I have been increasingly trying to distance myself from. Like nothing personal to the people who enjoy this sort of thing, glad ya'll are having your fun, but I can't relate and the whole scene just feels off to me.
@BloodNinja I think that's where they started to lose me. It's one thing when it's just some silly meme, but when these memes start to get a lot of media presence and have articles about them, it becomes off-putting. Then again I guess this is just not my thing, but that's also the point.
It would have been great if Doomguy would have been a fully fledge character. But I'll get the Mii costume.
@BloodNinja @JayJ You guys get it. I don't care if people have fun with this harmless stuff, but there is indeed this cringe factor to it. But hey I've been a bitter old man my whole life so what do I know.
Wholesome content. Contented.
My Doom Eternal on Switch started updating as I opened this article. Weird.
@Kevember I’ve been a bitter old man my whole life as well. Some of us are just wired that way LOL
Awesome. Friendship truly can overcome any obstacle, even the barriers between Universes.
Welcome to Smash, DOOM Slayer. Isabelle and everyone else have been waiting for you. Smash, rip and tear, until it is done.
@BloodNinja @Kevember
Same. I guess we can call ourselves the grumpy old man crew.
I kinda hope this never dies, and just becomes a weird constant thing in gaming. "there always something behind waterfalls" "when given an obvious path, the collectable is down the other" "leaning helps you steer" and "Doom guy if BFFS with Isabella"
Now I'm going to jump to Youtube and listen to the DOOM Crossing sony
@YusseiWarrior3000 occasionally, yes.
@Longondo Somebody doesn't know their Nintendo very well.
@Kevember there's literally zero cringe factor here tho
