When I heard the stellar 2016 reboot of the classic shooter Doom was coming to the Nintendo Switch, I was impressed -- but I wasn't interested. For me, Doom was strictly a PC game. It wasn't a question of graphics (that the game could be ported to Switch at all is nothing short of a technical marvel) so much as control -- I grew up playing first-person shooters on a mouse and keyboard. The modern dual-stick controller is great for kicking back and playing games on the couch, but for me, it's just not precise enough for a game like Doom.

Then, earlier this week, the company quietly updated the game with motion controlled aiming. Now I'm playing Doom on Nintendo Switch. And I'm loving it.
