Limited Run Games today announced a brand new physical release for Doom + Doom 2 on Nintendo Switch.
New versions of the classic shooters were released digitally on the console last year. This is what Limited Run Games’ latest boxed editions are based on.
Nintendo will be introducing games supporting 120 frames per second on Switch 2, and based on what we’re hearing, Mario Kart World is one such title that will make use of that.
Only a few whispers are out there at the moment. One of the main sites reporting on this is Engadget, following a hands-on session. The site writes: “Racing has never looked this smooth on any Nintendo console and this game might be the best first-party showcase of the Switch 2’s upgraded display and performance.”

Three more SEGA Genesis games just went live on Nintendo Switch Online with players now having access to Streets of Rage, ESWAT: City Under Siege, and Super Thunder Blade. All three can be accessed as part of the Expansion Pack tier.
Streets of Rage first came out in 1991. Super Thunder Blade is the earliest of the bunch having debuted in 1988 (1989 in the west) with ESWAT: City Under Siege seeing release in 1990.
With Nintendo Switch 2, some gamers were hoping that the system’s controllers would feature analog shoulder buttons. In the end though, Nintendo decided against including that functionality.
As part of a recent interview, we get to hear about what went into that decision. Kouichi Kawamoto, producer on Nintendo Switch 2 and technical director Tetsuya Sasaki weighed in here.
According to a statement from Nintendo, the company’s new Switch 2 Edition for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild won’t include the game’s Expansion Pass DLC. That additional content will be sold separately as was the case on Nintendo Switch and Wii U.
The game itself costs $70 on its own. If you’re interested in the Expansion Pass, that’ll cost another $20. For players looking to grab everything there is to offer, the whole thing will set them back $90.
