DOOM Review (Switch) │ The Nintendo Fan's Shooter 

"Great graphics are great but so is playing doom in bed" Arlo 2017

I cannot express how glad I am that the Switch is getting more and better 3rd Party Games

When you miss paper mario so hard you start seeing it in doom.

I have to disagree on the "no strategizing" argument. On higher difficulties, the battlefield is like a high-octane chessboard. You need to know the location of the enemies, the layout, when to get up close and personal and when to pick up powerups. The management part here comes from your health, which you can only get if you glory kill enemies.

Basically, some people will be like: "720p 30fps? Nay..." whereas others will be like: "I can play Doom in bed? Yay!"

I’m waiting for Doom Guy’s Woolly World

I hope this game does well. Bethesda is supporting the Switch big time and I hope it pays off for them.

"Mature hardcore gamers, that is you and me" *casually talking through a blue puppet*

Wait, This isn't Super Mario Odyssey! Bamboozled again!

Never thought I would hear a muppet say “hello my demon slaying friends” :0

"mass effect with its great story" *character running as if she shat her pants*

"Hello my demon slaying friends" Well, I guess this video isn't meant for me. (Leaves)

Doom Guy for Smash 5

"The Nintendo Fan's Shooter" Rip in peace Spla2n

A Doom review before Mario Odyssey? How very... surprising.

>mass effect has a good story >shows mass effect: andromeda Hahahahaha

You have convinced me to buy this game.

I play DOOM on my PS4 pro, and I'm still buying it for my Nintendo switch, see I'm a truck driver and I bring my switch with me. It the portability that matters to me.

Really hope this game sells well. 3rd parties are taking a pretty big risk by siding with Nintendo yet again, but this time they definitely deserve to be rewarded.

RIP N TURRRRRR

AHHHH! A talking puppet!

This game on the Switch is a statement. If it can play Doom it can play (Just about) Everything.

5:25 was when I yelled I’m buying that and got in my car and hauled ass to best buy

I was on the fence about picking this up. I never played it because aside from Bioshock or Resident Evil, I don't play shooters. But Arlo has convinced me to get it. Don't really care about frame rate and all that. I am excited now to try the game.

they should put Doomguy in smash, it would help fit the role snake had back in brawl.

Tomorrow, Doom, blood and guts everywhere. Next week, L.A. Noire, investigating multiple grisly crime scenes. It's a good time to be a Nintendo fan. Now if we could only get more third party heavy hitters. GTA V? Mortal Kombat? Diablo III? Ooooooh I'd go coo-coo for coco-puffs if I had a portable Diablo III.

For muppet’s sake Arlo, change the switch logo to blue!

never NEVER skip an ad on an arlo video

WHERE IS THE SAMUS ARMOR BONUS UGH

Is the footage in this vid of the Switch version...? Wow. I'm impressed.

Was all this footage from the Switch version? Becaise I'm totally ok with that.

well its officially now the best looking handheld first person shooter.

I'm not an FPS guy but damn this game is awesome 👌

5:07 That took me by surprise and made me actually laugh out loud. The timing was perfect, well done my good sir!

What a time to be an nintendo fanboy. it's like the 90s all over again.

i am looking for stuff on the Nintendo switch because i am getting one for Christmas and i run in to this unique channel and i love it

lol Flower Points. I'm glad I'm not the only one who does that. I called it Flower Points in Dark Souls for ages and still do with some friends haha.

Arlo: glory kills are great because they’re not the purely gratuitous murders that I’m used to seeing in other games Doom Eternal: *Allow me to introduce myself*

Well, Nintendo is officially DOOMed.

"Hello, my demon slaying friends" - Arlo, the fuzzy blue puppet.

If you ever get the chance, you should play Wolfenstein: The New Order and Wolfenstein 2.

I’m excited for when Doom Eternal comes to the Switch

Holy shit, this is my first time hearing about Arlo, and I'm incredibly impressed with the format of the videos and the puppet.

Just picked this up tonight Arlo. This is actually the 4th time I’ve watched your review. I wanted to view a 4th time after my purchase to hear your thoughts, and after my first hour into the game. You’re absolutely right. This game is amazing. Going from PS4 to Nintendo Switch exclusively was a change for me. Now I’ve added Doom to my collection, It’s definitely scratching that FPS itch I’ve had for the last year! It’s not pretty, but it’s DOOM, and damn is it satisfying!

THERE ARE WAY TOO MANY GAMES ON THE SWITCH I WANT! It's like please Nintendo, I can't afford all these games!! Stop being so amazing and getting awesome third party games

this is now what i want for my 17th birthday, "just 4 more years"

Halo Combat Evolved is a Masterpiece.

2:28 Architect of the year award goes to the person who put a whole in the DOOR

Am I the only one that’s noticed that the game is $60 on Switch when it’s $30 on Steam, Xbox One, and PS4? I was strongly considering buying this version, but that was a complete deal breaker.

I love seeing you discover doom. For something so gory, seeing you happy is so pure.

I don't have a PS4, XBone, or strong computer. And I don't usually play Switch in handheld. Still, couldn't resist picking this game up. It looks fun as hell (heh) and I want to support AAA mature games coming to Switch. Where's that Odyssey review though, puppet boy??

Arlo, I love you for choosing exactly this Mass Effect scene.

I think this game took a lot of inspiration from the metroid prime series. The up close, fast paced shooting feels quite similar EDIT : (yes everyone, I know the original doom came out in 1993 long before metroid prime. My bad, I just wrote something quick because I was early.)

I just discovered Arlo's videos yesterday, and subscribed immediately. I love the reviews! Thanks Arlo!

I got a PS4 just a few weeks ago, but I want to get it on the Switch for the portable aspect, and I'm not even big on portable gaming. It seems like a great game to play in shorter sessions. This is the really great thing about the Switch, even though the multiplats are inferior in terms of performance, the portability is a great selling point unlike with past gimmicks.

That final foundry fight with the two Hell Knights... such bad, bad memories...

I mean, if it feels like Doom, no matter the look, it sounds like its a good game. This looks pretty good on Switch. Neat.

i watched this to determine if i would get doom for my switch or not, even though i have it on my ps5. i thought the 30fps and sub-720p resolution would make me hate it, but the portability+motion aiming make this game a blast despite how it looks. it still amazes me how i can get a similar experience as a top-end home console, but anywhere i want.

For all these people moning about the cost in these coments below, it's only $60 from the Nintendo store. These things are always over priced, the Ps4 is no different this way for new games. By from Amazon and save $20 and best of all have a physical copy of it. Yes you may get it for $10 second hand on Ps4 but we must support these games on switch and have a lot more verity in the games we get. I'm loving the switch, first Nintendo console since the N64.

My brother and I were watching Fraggle Rock and we just saw the episode in which Boober shouts "DOOM!" like you have in the beginning of this video. It blew our minds.

Played this on PC. Fuck me it was an awesome experience. :D Def gonna revisit!

Doom allowing the player to actually move, as if you're a video game character and not a real person with real limitations that make everything much less fun, is what makes it and a ton of older shooters much more fun than just about any modern FPS games.

Will you review Wolfenstein The New Colossus when it comes out? Also I wonder why Nintendo just doesnt port Wii U and Wii games (that support the controller) to the Switch and upscale the graphics a bit like what the Xbox One X is doing this would give the Switch alot more games without wasting too much money.

Don't you worry Arlo no matter what you upload i'll still watch it.

Dude, Doom's story is just: you're Doom guy and the demons are trapped in hell with you! rip and tear!

Just found this channel. Couple vids in and bro you’re articulate and funny af

you know Nintendo Consoles with doom Ports was terrible but handheld doom ports were amazing, BEFORE YOU SAY DOOM 64 I MIGHT WANT TO REMIND YOU THAT DOOM 64 IS NOT A PORT IT IS AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT DOOM GAME, GO PLAY IT FULLY IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME.

Arlo’s really savoring that Odyssey

It pisses me off that you never mentioned how good the music in the game was. All you seem to have been concerned with the game was just gameplay and plot. And I do not know if you've ever played the original Doom for PC or any of the other installments, though by the looks of the review I find it unlikely.

sooo Arlo what are you gonna do tonight? Arlo: 4:07

The Nintendo Fan's Shooter I couldve sworn that title belonged to Splatoon but ok.

Arlington my friend, you just convinced me to get DOOM on Switch, and you got a new subscriber

Are you going to do a review of DOOM Eternal? It's out now

Man, reacently discovered you, and i love your channel, humor etc.

Great high-octane arcadey shooter with collectibles, but only buy on Switch if it's the only game machine you own (or you prize portability).

Awesome review. I have it on PC, PS4 and can't wait to get it tomorrow for the Switch! Doom in Bed just sounds like a great way to wind down before I go to sleep.

Not an FPS person at all but I still bought this game just to support good 3rd parties and make a strong statement to lousy ones like EA. #Doomillion

3:52 hey man catch

If you take out the blood and demons, this game feels like a FPS game Nintendo would make.

Nice review man. I think you're the first person who shares my views on it being similar to Prime in many ways. Summed up my views pretty much all round

I mean, I'm glad that this is a great port & I hope it does well, but no gyro controls & the game running at 30fps are kind of deal-breakers for me.

Seariously arlo you had to post this when I was in school! You broke my streak of being within the first ten people watching the video.

Switch really needed this game for it's library. This port isn't perfect, but it's a good handheld FPS. In my opinion only two version matter: Switch and PC. On the first one you get handheld experience. It would be better with gyro and motion control though. On PC you get solid 60 fps and way better graphics than on PS4 or XO. I think that there's really no reason to get PS4 or XO version. PC is so much better and have quite low requirements. Pentium CPU is enough for solid 60 fps and Geforce 960 or 1050 will deliver 60 fps 1080p on ultra, of course 970 or 1060 would be a bit better for perfect frame pacing, since those GPUs get 80-100 fps with ease. At the same time I'm angry on Bethesda. I won't buy another copy to just play it on Switch. I've got day one boxed PC release that is on my Steam account. I could pay 5-10$ to get upgrade to Nintendo Switch version, but that's not going to happen. It's the same with every 3rd party game. I've already have Rayman Legends, L.A. Noire, Doom and many indie titles from Switch library, but I can't play them on Switch, and I won't pay full price again. In case of incoming games, I won't buy them for Switch, because PC offers me much more. This is the reason why no one is buying 3rd party games for Nintendo consoles. PC, XO or PS4 ports are always better. I would really like to get Wolfenstein 2 on Switch, but if I have to choose, then I will get it on PC. Nintendo could have their PC store, like GOG or uPlay. Buy game once, play it on Switch and PC of course if a game already is on PC like Doom. I think we should do something about it, since Nintendo isn't against it. Few years ago when you bought Toki Tori 2 for Wii U you got a Steam key for free. Many games will also have cross multiplayer with Switch/PC/XO. I want to play on Switch while I'm away from my computer, but when I'm at home I want to play in 60 fps and 4K.

Youre not trapped with demons, demons are trapped with you...

fuck it, buying it.

Enjoyed your review very much. Commentary is top notch as always.

"Both versions" "PS4" PC is the superior version, anything you say

Where I work I get an hour for lunch, so this is perfect for that in-between time!

Got it already for the pc on release, won't get it on the Switch.

Man, seeing Arlo talk about punching demons is really strange.

>doom releases on everything but nintendo >JUST A GENERIC SHOOTER THAT PEOPLE ONLY LIKE BECAUSE OF GRAPHICS (Or just doesn't know about it because they don't play anything that isn't nintendo or on nintendo) >gets an impressive but still shit version of the port >OMG THIS GAME IS SO GOOD I DON'T CARE ABOUT 540P SUB 30FPS (Or barely finds out about it)

Wow I didn't know about the mars/hell kingdom in Mario Odyssey. Congrats Arlo on finding this secret kingdom.

Actually, Splatoon is the Nintendo fan's shooter.

I'm simple, I see Arlo, I like immediately!

Know this is completely unrelated but this guy named SuperMarioT came out with why Paper Mario changed. It's a great video and explains why Paper Mario is in such bad shape. I'm just trying to spread the news around.

Being able to rip demons to shreds while sitting on the toilet is more than enough to convince me.

"Make it rain raspberry jelly" ~ Arlo 2017

Arlo forgot to mention the kickass music in this game

I like the video where Arlo talk about Doom for a loooooong time
