Isn't marketing part of the budget though?  Or at least the bottom line?  Xenoblade X wouldn't be considered AAA because it has the opposites of games like Splatoon, MK and Smash.

If there's a way to define triple A games more factually, I'll digress.

Of course it is. Why would marketing of a specific game not be in its budget? Although, the amount Nintendo spent on Splatoon advertising was pretty huge. So, it might be more expensive you might you think.

Would you classify Splatoon as AAA though?  That is the heart of the conversation there.
