Hello!
https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2020/09/doom_64_is_getting_physical_on_switch_pre-orders_open_next_week
Doom 64 is getting a limited physical release. The release is set for PS4 and Switch. For $55 (which is 11x more expensive then just buying the game on the e-shop), you get:
- a fancy pantsy box
- a non-functioning N64 cart
- a behind the scenes booklet
- a reversible 18" x 24" poster
What do you think? This doesn't really appeal to me. I think it would be neat if the N64 cartridge actually worked. It would be a lot more interesting than the other knick-knacks the set comes with. Shantae, Pier Solar, and Retro City Rampage were able to get physical re-releases of their games, so why not Doom 64? Those other games also don't have access to the kind of money Bethesda has, so its a little baffling to me.
