Nintendo has not only made Star Wars fans happy with the announcements at the current Direct Show: fans of top-class shooters will soon be able to shoot on the hybrid console as well. The Japanese company announced the releases of Doom 64 and Overwatch for Nintendo Switch. Doom 64 should be released on November 22nd, while Blizzard's Overwatch for Nintendo Switch will be playable from October 15th.


That shooter also on the Nintendo Switch Players have known since the release of Wolfenstein at the latest. Now all those shooter fans who can't get enough hectic action on the screen are getting something new. Both Doom 64 and Overwatch will be released for the hybrid console in the coming weeks. The Japanese entertainment giant announced this during its recent Nintendo Direct show.

Doom 64 is coming to Nintendo Switch in November

Fans of the tough shooter series Doom have to wait a few weeks. The offshoot Doom 64 is expected to be released for the hybrid console on November 22nd and can then not only be played at home on the TV set, but also on the go. The original was already released in 1997 for Nintendo 64, the plot is based on the first two PC titles Doom and Doom 2, but also on Final Doom.

While Midway Games and ID Software were responsible for the development back then, Bethesda is now taking care of bringing the typical “Doom feeling” of the 64 title to the Switch.

Overwatch will be available for Nintendo Switch on October 15th

Rumors about Overwatch being for Nintendo Switch would be implemented had already existed for some time. Now Nintendo has officially announced at the Direct Show that Blizzard's globally popular team shooter will be coming to the hybrid console. Fans don't have to wait long: the game should be available for purchase as a digital download and as a physical version as early as mid-October. The cost is around 40 euros, but there is the “Legendary Edition” with access to all content previously released for other platforms – including all 31 heroes.

However, there will be no crossplay. Last but not least, this is due to the technical conditions, especially the movement control Nintendo Switch, which will also be supported in Overwatch. In terms of play, the Switch version could certainly provide new incentives and a different feeling of play: after all, some of the heroes' actions can be carried out particularly intuitively with the motion control, such as D.Va's "short flight" or Genji's evasive maneuvers.

On October 15th, the multiplayer spectacle also starts on Nintendo Switch. In addition, Nintendo also lures buyers with a “goodie”: If you buy Overwatch in the legendary edition, you will also receive three months of Nintendo Online. The subscription service is essential for the multiplayer game anyway.
