Being reported by Nintendolife and Kotaku; link to the Kotaku article: https://kotaku.com/earlier-this-morning-listings-for-the-ori...

Listings for Doom 1, 2, & 3 were briefly added to the UK eShop this morning. The listings were taken down, but the ports were formally announced later at the QuakeCon keynote address. Based on the UK eShop prices, Doom 1 & 2 should each run $5 while Doom 3 will cost $10. Each game appears to include all the official expansions and map packs Id released during each game's lifespan.

My son... gives me Helpful Nintendo Hints that are far too complex for the adult mind to comprehend. Here's a verbatim example: "OK, there's Ganon and miniature Ganon and there's these things like jelly beans and the miniature Ganon is more powerfuller, because when you touch him the flying eagles come down and the octopus shoots red rocks and the swamp takes longer." And the hell of it is, I know he's right. - Dave Barry

Ports of popular old PC games with no Switch Tax from Bethesda of all publishers? I don't believe it!

Is it a new release? I see the Doom 3 purchase page on the Nintendo site but I don't see any of them under the new releases page. How is that possible?

Looks like they were uploaded to the eShop prematurely. They were uploaded, then quickly taken down. Weird, but they probably wanted to wait for a certain moment. Either way, it means they are coming, and I'm very happy about this, I love the Doom games!

Yeah I've already bought and downloaded Doom II.  I can check if it went to my Switch later today, but it looks like they are live....

Doom 3? My favorite Doom ever? Count me as even willing to buy it digital at that price. Will purchase as soon as I get home. The fact that it contains the expansions just makes this so much nicer. I wish I wasn't at work right now or I'd be downloading this instant. FINALLY!!!!!!!!!

Yep, this was a huge deal on Twitter yesterday. You have to sign up for a Bethesda account and be online to launch it at least once. So stupid.

Some articles say you need a constant internet connection to play the game.  Despite the fact that it's a portable console where you won't always be around Wifi.  One of my jobs has free wifi for workers so it's okay, but the other doesn't and that can screw with my head.  Then again I have enough gold points or whatever to get at least one of them for free, so maybe ill just go for all three and deal with the headache later.

Man, I was excited about the doom release until reading this. This is some absolute nonsense on bethesda's part. 

Edit: It seems that bethesda got backed into a corner and that they are gonna change this. I will return to being excited about this.

That does make me feel better.  I am downloading Doom 3 at work on their slow internet, so in about 8 hours I should have a game to play.

I'm glad to hear that they're working on making the requirement optional. I already have an account, but I'm not always around good internet. Make it sign-in for the online stuff, not the offline single player!

So Doom 3 downloaded in sleep mode while I worked. Started it up, got to the screen asking you to log in to bethesda.net or whatever one it is called. I was able to press B to back out from that screen without any issues and was able to start the game right away. I am playing it right now without issues. So maybe Bethesda fixed it quick.
