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.

I feel like it's in a grey area, but ultimately, I would classify it as a AAA title from Nintendo. I can't really think of many title that have greater efforts behind them from Nintendo outside of core 3 titles (Zelda, Smash, and 2D/3D Mario titles). The big thing that people can dock Splatoon for was the single player campaign (or really lack of story/campaign) and how badly they handled the locked on-disc multiplayer content.
