Pre-orders of Doom Eternal include a copy of the remastered version of Doom 64 the popular title from 1997 for Nintendo 54. In Doom Eternal you reprise the role of the lone human sent to battle demonic forces. This title boasts at least twice as many demon types as in the 2016 franchise reboot. Looks like they took someone out of the Just Cause play book and added a meat hook to the shotgun for some grappling action. Also is it just me or does the suit in the cover photo look like he borrowed it from Metroid Prime Samus? Twinsies!
