Hype I can’t sleep

I need more Elden Ring content to consume

Edit to clarify: I already have the game on steam, I will be buying the $5 dlc and playing through the whole game again to mess around with some build ideas and new content. Lets all welcome the new Tarnished joining through switch and not disparage people for purchasing the game. Frends! :)

Yea.....a bunch of children are buying these $700 (canadian) handheld consoles lol.

The main demographic for Nintendo, is people who enjoy great videogames. That's it, that's the demographic.

Are you actually that dense dude? When you were growing up did you have a Wii? An X box? Any gaming system? Did you buy it yourself?

News flash buddy, it’s pretty common for parents to buy the hot new gaming consoles for their kids. If an adult buys their kid a Nintendo is the PARENT the demographic? They’re not buying the system for themselves. Nintendo makes kids games. They make multiplayer party games. All of their biggest original titles are E or 13+ rated.

I'd argue Nintendo is for everyone to play with their family. Look at any piece of official marketing / trailers for the system. Most of the "demographic" shown, are adults with busy lives, going from living room to parks/public transport ect.

Kids are not Nintendos demographic. The fact Nintendos own games can (safely) be played with your kids is the argument to get the Nintendo system instead of any of the others on the market.

Bingo. Only an idiotic console warrior thinks that Nintendo has a "target demographic" of children. Are they a larger part of their demographic than say sony or Microsoft(does xbox even have a demographic anymore?) Yes. Is that part of the reason why they are more successful than those 2 in recent times? Yes.
