The thing is a semi deconstruction of things that are already niche does make mainstream a big stretch for this series.

I agree, though such a scenario isn't impossible.  I would say Wario Ware is a good example of everything you just said actually happening, it's hugely referential towards a specific gaming subculture (even in the gameplay itself) and very much a design deconstruction (moreso than NHM even I'd say) and it still sold HUGE.

Then again, there's worlds of difference when looking at a product pushed by Nintendo versus a product pushed by Ubisoft.  Which brings us back to "sent to die". :(
