GameXplain has shared some footage from the new Switch re-release of Doom 1. Have a look at the footage below.

A trio of classic Doom games have landed on the Switch eShop. Doom, Doom II, and Doom 3 can be purchased starting today. However, there’s one element about the experience that some players have taken issue with.
