What the fuck? Animal Crossing, Kirby, and Mario Kart aren't geared for kids? Even 3D Mario could be considered as such. And Splatoon and Smash are about even with demographics

Those games are geared towards everyone in general I would say. all the way from kids, to serious gamers. Not specifically targeting kids/casuals tho.

That's kind of a bad point though, don't you think? Nearly every Nintendo franchise sells to a diverse cast of demographics, that's why a "niche" franchise for Nintendo is 2-3 million and some of their competitors have front runner franchises that sell 2-3m. Nintendo franchises almost always cater to everyone possible, it just doesn't always lead to big sales. Their are exceptions, but Kirby and Animal Crossing and Mario Kart aren't them ... 

And I'm not going to make a bet on who Nintendo thinks Kirby and Animal Crossing and Mario Kart are for, but remember this is the same company who for years considered one of their most hardcore franchises as nothing but a "party game" (Ok yeah yeah it's technically Sakurai but you get my point)
