Brand new Doom for... SNES?

[A Black Falcon]

SNES Doom is actually the only version of Doom I've finished, fifteen-something years ago.  I quite liked it, it's an impressive port for the hardware and is much more accurate to the PC game than the other '90s console versions of Doom.  And the original programmer of SNES Doom is, I believe, involved with this project!  So yeah, I'm excited.  Adding not only the five missing levels but Ultimate Doom's fourth episode, passwords, a better framerate, and circle-strafing are pretty awesome additions.  It's also adding FMV, at least for a Bethesda animation logo.  I hope it adds in the rest of the missing music as well, that was cut for cart space reasons.

The big question is the hardware, yeah.  SNES Doom is a SuperFX2 game.  Obviously this won't be using a real Super FX.  They've called it "Super FX 3" and said it'll have more memory than the original Super FX, but I'm not clear if it's an FPGA or something way more powerful than the original.  Games that use modern hardware to do things on old consoles that could never have been done back then, just limited by the video output of the original console, are interesting but aren't as ... what's the right word? legitimate? real? Those don't sound right... but that kind of thing just doesn't interest me as much as a game that uses hardware that could have existed at the time.  It'll be interesting to see which way SNES Doom goes on that.
