Their strategy isn’t really the legal arguments, it’s simply scare tactics because no one wants to go against Nintendo in court.

Yep, basically their strategy is intimidation by being rich when the people deving these things aren’t. The legal costs are nothing for them and decimating for their opponents.

Shameful practice, but super common in the modern world.
