Nice.  You know, for all the compromises, Doom is dang impressive relative to the hardware, especially in handheld mode.  And especially when you consider it was brought over by a porting studio and not built for the Switch by id themselves.

Yeah, running on a 0.5 TF FP32 handheld is great. Almost looks like the PC version on lowest settings. Needs a dedicated GPU though. I played the first 2 levels on an Intel iGPU at 1080p @ 20-25 FPS. Well optimized game. The only thing that disappoints on the Switch is that performance took a huge hit and it's priced as a new game. I got it for $20 CAD on Steam. At retail it's like $80 + 12% tax in Canada. Switch Carts are expensive though, like $20 per cart after manufacturing and licensing.

Uh, Switch carts ain't that expensive.  The 16GB one is a mild increase in costs.  8GB is the same as a PS4 disc.  But this is based on information from a year ago, costs may have dipped a bit.
