Following Bethesda's sudden release of the original trilogy of classic DOOM titles, another new tidbit of information has come to light, regarding the series. DOOM 64, which released in 1997--for as the name denotes, the Nintendo 64--has been rated by the European software board, PEGI. It was then quickly removed from sight on the PEGI webpage, but it was screenshotted by Gematsu prior to removal. The PEGI rating shows that the game had a release date of July 26, 2019, though it obviously didn't release yesterday alongside the other DOOM games. It also was rated for PC and PlayStation 4, and though no Xbox One or Nintendo Switch versions were rated, the latter platforms also lacked a PEGI rating for DOOM I, II, and 3, meaning DOOM 64 will still likely release for all modern platforms when it does inevitably launch.

My favorite Doom title is being slated for an official re-release on modern platforms? Whaaaaat? If it comes to Switch it'll be an instant buy.

MATE TRY TO FIND A Doom64 cartrige with 6.4£ GOOD LUCK

It could release soon, it could release later. For all we know it could receive a remaster though that's highly unlikely.
This DOOM 64 game is it as hard to control as they say?

No. It does take a bit of getting used to, but it's not difficult.

No, no. It's definitely "we".

try to find a full floppy set for doom 1 and doom 2 for 6.4£ lol, you're buying the game itself, not the hardware

flawed logic there m8889

 

[Clapmaster]

Hell yeah 64 is still my favorite Doom.

 

[|<roni&g]

Feel bad for anyone who bought that drm filled crap they just released

 

[DeoNaught]

N64 had jank controls because it had one stick, so yeah, they were probably horrid for the game, First person shooters for the N64 were hard regarding controls

No, no. It's definitely "we".

Communism is always we

No you used the analogue stick to walk forward, backward and turn left and right. Shoulder buttons were used for strafing. This game broke me for fps games. I played with these controls on every fps until Halo 1 came out. I didn't realize it was weird until a friend asked me why I was playing Halo that way and that's when I switched to the modern setup.

If you get Doom64ex on pc it has modern gamepad controls and mouse and keyboard support. There's even a nice homebrew Switch port of it on this site.
