Did the Switch finally destroy Nintendo's "Kiddie" image?

Then why is the Switch marketed to Young adults half the time? Switch isn't a children's console, it's a console designed for a wide audience including children, to say otherwise is delusional. 

Because the name "Nintendo" alone already markets to children as do the majority of their games. The other ads are necessary to try to convince the rest of the people that it's not just for kids.

Nintendo always makes a console for children and then tries to convince adults to buy it too, never the other way around because the kids console is their default starting point.

That's bullshit. Nintendo never starts making a project with a target audience in mind. They come up with a concept, and sell it to anyone who's interested in it. I seriously doubt that they started prototyping the Switch with the thinking "we're making this for Kids". No, they were making a mainstream gaming console that could be enjoyed by kids, but is generally aimed at all audiences.
