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 ... 

Well, I feel like pre-New Leaf animal crossing was targeted for casuals..... but New Leaf is clearly more in-depth with more substance and a much better gameplay-loop. that really, anyone can get addicted to. And....how is Mariokart not for anyone?

I seriously do not get how you aren't grasping this. A franchise being casual does not mean it isn't for anyone, in fact it can often mean the opposite. Mario Kart is for anyone, that doesn't make it not casual. No one is saying these games aren't for everyone, casual does not mean excluding the hardcore, lol.
