DOOM + DOOM II Is Getting A New Limited Run Collector's Edition For $666

I had to double check the date at first to make sure it wasn’t still the first of the month… “DOOM + DOOM II: Will It Run Edition” for $666 😂

Hi doom again Bye Doom again see u on next re release x999

Wow that's a lot of junk for more than what Nintendo's asking for a Switch 2 and Mario Kart World

I actually liked the items, but not for that price, not even close. That "go to hell" was great btw.

I love the subtitle lol! Alright, they're going full bonkers with the $666 release, I absolutely love it and love the idea. The price tho... go to hell.

I thought it was a funny placeholder price to start with but apparently that's what they want for it 😂 There's a couple of neat things I wouldn't mind owning but for nowhere near that price

It will ship in 666 days!

Honestly I would rather get Mario Kart World at 80 dollars than this tbh. At least MK World is a new game.

$666 for the Doom + Doom II Will Run It? Yeah... go to hell.

(Sorry just couldn't help myself 😅)

I'm glad they're releasing this version as well, but in a way, it's inferior to the last release, which also included DOOM 3.

I'm tempted to buy a few copies of this one thanks to the local wireless multiplayer capability, BUT, a Switch 2 port may later surface with GameShare capability, which would be superlatively better, so I'm a little torn right now. LRG will likely reissue a lot of their past Switch releases with Switch 2 editions, so I think I'll risk erring on the side of frugality if I'm going to be stuck with yet another physical copy of classic DOOM in the not-too-distant future.

I might also grab that controller, purely for how compact it is, though it disappointingly does little with the whole DOOM motif.

Zero interest in the overpriced boxed editions though.

I don't have a joke for this, not one that hasn't already been made anyway. This just looks dumb.
EDIT: Nah, I got more, actually, because I already bought the digital versions of Doom I&II when they were on sale for dirt cheap, plus I bought the classics collection that includes Doom I-III, so I already have the satisfaction of having these games on my shelf next to the rest of the series, and on top of that, I got to download the upgraded versions for free for having at least one of them purchased already. What is the point of this???

I thought this was a joke but April 1st has already happened.

Seems a bit... excessive.

People complaining about an $80 game..

LRG let's make a bundle with waste plastic for $666.

Doom was great and its historical contribution to gaming was immense. But I played this to death like 20 years ago. Hats off to the people keen for this. But I don’t really get it.

Edit: 666 x $666 = not quite 450,000. Wow

At this price each Doom should have had it's own physical, but even then it wouldn't be worth it.
Maybe they could get away with 66$ for this instead of 666.

The games themselves are almost free on sales.

And then people complain about the Switch 2 price and Mario Kart World...

"PC Edition includes Digital Steam Code"

"Switch 2 Edition includes Game-Key Cart"

I'm not saying it will 100% happen, but I would lie if I said that the thought hadn't crossed my mind.

Ah, I see we're starting me off early today. I couldn't tell you how many times I have seen instances of 666 in the last year or so, but it's happened to often, it's been driving me nuts. I'm not even religious, but even I'm beginning to wonder if it's an omen.

A product for smooth brained YouTubers
"I SPENT $666 ON DOOM! WAS IT WORTH IT?!?"
-no.

Both games on the eShop are like.... £3 each. So £30 for a cart? And I'm fairly sure that isn't the first release on cart either.

Lolno. If £70 is too much for an upgraded Zelda that came out two years ago, then £30 is way way too much for a game that's older than I am.

Id saw what Nintendon did with Mario Kart and had a brilliant idea. These people are suckers!!!!

£509. So this costs more than Switch 2 Mario Kart bundle + 2nd gen Pro controller combined. Wowzers.

Limited Run strikes again...

A timely announcement with all eyes on Nintendo and their pricing.

Let’s not forget the poster child for disrespecting core gamers and their wallets.

Everyone’s got a point when defending or complaining about an $80 game. But $666 dollars…Are these guys kidding or what?

For mega fans only, still a very cool bundle!

$666?!?!?? Total insanity is all I have to say!!

This is really fun but no way I’d pay for that. It’s going to be for any hardcore collector and I’m sure will be worth something one day as limited as it is.

Afff.. just a clickbait. The physical release will cost 29 bucks only.

I am more excited for that SNES DOOM Upgrade cart. I'd very much like to know when that thing is going to drop.

I hope they do a switch 2, mouse control patch/upgrade option.

@AstroTheGamosian If a conspiracy theory starts because of basic pattern recognition, it's probably nothing to worry about.
It's the same meme as people seeing the illuminati every time they see a pyramid back in like 2013.

Way too cheap for me. I'll wait for scalpers to sell it at 6666.66$

I love collector's editions. I even like the quirkier ones. This is dumb. Cassettes?! Really?!? Some serious hipster bait in this one.

@Liam_Doolan Please someone at Nintendolife do some journalistic snooping and see if there is any scope / plans for Limited Run to release physical versions of key card games. Weren't they invited to Nintendo for some early Switch 2 showing or something?

I think I'm good with my standard DOOM collection from aeons ago, I don't buy anything with the Mark of the Beast on it.

Standard Edition it is!!

@Chlocean I’m really hoping to hear about that too. I’d guess they’re going to save it for closer to the launch of The Dark Ages.

@GrailUK That would go against their "Forever Physical" slogan, but then again, they'll release DOOM Eternal without its DLC, so I probably wouldn't put it past them.

@sanderev This. I feel like superfluous stuff like this is just such a waste of resources, creating more pollution, etc etc

Novelty junk with an outrageously inflated price trying to instigate fear of missing out while hiding behind the guise of physical games preservation for a title which is massively available. Sounds like LRG.

Yeah hmm I don't think so

Oh, I would really love to have those soundtrack cassettes, but I’m obviously not going to pay $666 + import fees to have them. 🥲

$666 for some cheap tchotchkes. A fool and his money....

How the H*ll does a box play Doom? Besides DOSBox.

@KayFiOS How so? (I don't follow you is all.)

@GrailUK I'm saying that they'll release something physical that doesn't contain everything the game has to offer, and it's not just with DLC. There have been instances where a patch would be released close to the announcement of a physical edition of a game, but that physical edition would not include the update.

I wonder if they'll actually package this one properly when they ship it in 2029

“Buy me DOOM + DOOM II Will it Run Edition or Go to Hell!”

What the hell

ROFL that "Will it run edition" price is a joke right? Who the fk would pay that? It looks cool but no more than $150 tops cool, cuz running on the box is nothing special and not worth the extra cost lol. LRG is on crack.

I'm done supporting Limited Run Games, and the less I hear about them, the better.

Is it worth considerably more than the price of a switch 2?

@DaSwitcher I’m not buying it until it costs $6,666. Might not be too far off lol

Ship date on point 👍

666 666 the number 6

@SillyG Yeah the controller should have looked like a UAC keycard or something

@JimmyFleck Young man, in this house we say ‘please’

If it was $6.66 I’d be interested

You can keep your $666 folks. In another year, they'll release it again for the Switch 2 and charge it $6,666.

🤡 Unlimited Ruin Games
But I mean, somewhere there’s a customer for this.

I don't even buy fast food with those three digits. I tell them to round up.

If I were a huge fan of Doom, I'd just get the standard editions for the Switch and Xbox.

You could probably just make your own... You can find the wads pretty easily, they may even be shareware by now...

@88NickC if you would a huge fan of doom you would be playing on an 486 running dos

$ 666 for DOOM and DOOM II and people where complaining about the price of Mario Kart World? 😅

Hmm. The big box reminds me of how the box of the original PC floppies came. Thats tempting on its own as a reminder of the moment in history.
Shame no PC physical option for disks (or floppy kek) to just have. Everythings Steam.
Choices choices...

I totally understand there's a joke in this, and the bundle DOES look cool (with the box itself running the game !) but...

Seriously.

WHO is gonna pay that amount of money for this pack ?

I mean... you could buy a whole freaking console with that amount. You could buy a PS5, or a Switch 2 AND some accessories / games.

So is there any customer in line for this ? Besides one or two youtubers who will buy it just to share their "unboxing" video ?

@JimmyFleck @Antraxx777 : "Gavin, don't you already have this game?"
"No, Mom, you idiot! I've got DOOM: Classic Collection, DOOM: Rip and Tear Edition, and iD Anthology, stupid!"
"Oh, I'm sorry, honey. We'll take a DOOM + DOOM II."
"Well, get two. I'm not sharing with Caitlin!"

@SillyG

“That must be the happiest kid alive”

The tagline to this headline was my reaction to that price tag. ^^;

@SillyG I knew I’d get some responses on this thread! 😆

Clearly not aimed at those of us with limited disposable income, but I'm glad this exists. Looking forward to watching a 2 minute YouTube video of someone playing Doom on the box a year from now.

I'll pass, I go back to playing Doom on my fridge like a normal person.

Can't do $666 because it would Hurt me plenty

I would pay $6.66 or $66.60. Certainly not $666.00

It's a good joke release. I'm assuming it's the other two price tiers they're actually, truly selling here. While the $666 bundle is purely for collectors and YouTubers who are going to get it for free anyway.
