Doom and Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus are heading to the Nintendo Switch, Nintendo revealed in a Nintendo Direct live stream today.

2016's Doom is coming to the Switch this holiday, bringing the action-packed shooter to a Nintendo platform for the first time. The upcoming game Wolfenstein II will be coming to the Nintendo Switch at a to-be-announced date in 2018.

Wolfenstein II is coming out on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC in October, so the Switch version is a little late to the game.
