I think Nintendo is still mainstream. I mean, people are still creating merchandise based on their characters. There was a couple who did a dance based around Super Mario Bros.' iconic themes in Dancing with the Stars. YouTube content creators have done Nintendo content videos that not only relate to games, but also theories, food, clothing, etc. Pokemon Go was trending when it was announced. Amiibo is selling like crazy. And the software are still selling rather well. So unless we're talking about hardware (or home console to be more exact), Nintendo is not really niche or anything like that. Plus, consider what they can be once they fulfill all their plans of raising awareness through mobile, theme parks, animation/films, etc.
