If I'm MS and Sony I'm loving that Nintendo is going back to framing themselves as the "kids console"/"toy device" and away from the broader context they initially marketed the Wii and product like Brain Training from the mid-2000s, which started to paint Nintendo in a more sophiticated, elegant light. 

But if Nintendo wants to take a giant dump on that and return to the image they had with the GameCube.

How is such an image conveyed by a commercial that shows adults playing the game?

It's called marketing. And yes, decisions like that actually matter. Any competent marketing agency knows that.

There's a reason why a Big Mac in a TV commercial doesn't look like the ruffled crap Big Mac you actually get at the restaurant, because a good marketing agency pays attention, image is everything. The job of a marketing agency is to paint a product in its best light and to emphasize the best parts of it.

The Wii U is a better product that what's being shown in these commercials, it's not a kids toy, it's a let down and they're unimaginative and lacking any vision.

It reeks of something they slapped together after about an hour of brainstorming and not being able to come up with anything better. This marketing agency quite frankly is ripping Nintendo off if this is the best they could come up with.
