     What did you know?!
     What did you know?!
    Earlier this morning, Gamerbytes found something a little odd on the Japanese Xbox Live Marketplace. Specifically, they found Doom II: Hell On Earth. Apparently, the port of id Software's classic FPS sequel had been released on the Japanese Marketplace. Why did Japan get Doom II before the U.S.? What transgression did the U.S. commit that would keep us from our deserved shotguns with two barrels? Was this some kind of conspiracy? Who was keeping Doom II out of the U.S.? And why did this news come out four days after it was rumored J Allard was let go from Microsoft? Is he in on the conspiracy? Is J Allard trying to stop Doom II? Is Microsoft trying to stop Doom II? And why can't anyone find John Romero?! 

    We'll never know the real answers, but Major Nelson went on to confirm that Doom II: Hell On Earth will be released on XBLA this Wednesday. No price was specified in the announcement, but the game was selling on the Japanese store for 800 Microsoft points, which seems like the right price. 
     
    The original Doom--and by "original Doom", I mean the 2006 XBLA port of Doom, not the original release of Doom back in 1993, or the original release of Doom II in 1994--was a solid port of the classic game, with fun co-op and multiplayer.
     
    Are you guys excited to climb back into the suit of the classic hero, "Nameless Space Marine" and take down the forces of hell?

    Can you slow down please, I can't handle all this news.
     
    Also if you are going to increase the output then can you save some of the less urgent stuff for the weekend? It gets pretty slow around here at the weekend...

    Oooooh. I'm excited. Depending on multiplayer functionality, I might actually pick this up. It's been a long time since I've played Doom II, and some nostalgia sounds just fine right about now. Also, if I recall correctly, I don't think I ever beat Doom II, as I was nine years old. Hahah.

    FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!!!! 
     
    'Bout bloody time too. First thing I think I'll do is jump online and get the inevitable "Get 100 kills on XBL" achievement. I hate the fact that the only thing stopping me getting a S-Rank in Doom 1 is the fact nobody plays it online anymore.

    So, I'm going to go ahead and assume Doom III will be ported to XBLA four years from now.

    $10 doesn't sound right to me.  Doom is $5.  It might be better than Doom, but it's not twice as good.  I'm ok with XBLA prices rising, but only if the games get better.  Shadow Complex is way better than Screwjumper so I'm fine with paying more for it.

    Lies. Doom III HD will be released 2014 for XBLA. Then another four years later, Doom IV will be ported to XBLA.

    I loved Doom 1 on XBLA for the leaderboard system.  I hear Doom 2 XBLA has avatar awards.  Unfortunately, all the footage of Doom 2 XBLA so far lacks widescreen support, maybe the full game will surprise me...
     
    I also checked the Japanese marketplace earlier today after hearing the news and it seems MS has pulled Doom 2 from it for now (maybe it went back up again since then, who knows).  Wanted to check the widescreen shit.

    Sweet! Can't wait to play this co-op. I remember when they said this was going to come out shortly after Doom 1 was released on the Arcade. Just a little late!
