Games like that arent their primary focus and make up a small amount of Nintendo's output. Wii was primarily a kid/family/casual console yet it still had things like Metroid Prime 3 & Xenoblade Chronicles, very hardcore and niche titles.
For every Bayonetta 2/Xenoblade Chronicles X, there is a Captain Toad, Pokemon Shuffle, Kirby Rainbow Curse, Mario vs. Donkey Kong, Mario Party 10, Pokemon Rumble World, Splatoon, Dr. Mario: Miracle Cure, Yoshi's Woolly World, Super Mario Maker, Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer.
So even if NX is aimed primarily at kids/casuals/families, they will still very likely fund the occasional hardcore niche title.

I don't agree at all. I think it is one of their primary focuses. If what you're saying is true, those games would be considered a waste of recourses. There's no reason at all to make games like that in that case. Nintendo constantly refers to its audience as "gamers" something with a negative stigma to casuals. Nintendo may make a lot of everyone games, but that does not mean they aren't trying to target a core audience, even agressively. They absolutely are.
Im under the much more likely belief that Nintendo are simply run by a bunch of morons who think the fans want this stuff. They don't sound like they're targeting a different audience. They just sound ignorant.
The Wii U didn't fail because it tried to target a casual audience. The Wii U failed because Nintendo though this is what could get back the core audience. Of course it's a high priority for them. They are just stupid because the whole fucking company is run by people who don't play games.
Iwata? Coder. Not a gamer. Miyamoto? Developer. Self admittedly not a gamer. Reggie? Fucking obviously not a gamer. But all of these people have this dangerous ignorance because they THINK they know what we want better than we do.

It's not really up for debate, games like Xenoblade/Bayonetta are not Nintendo's primary concern in terms of games they develop/publish, they make up maybe 10% of Nintendo's output.
