The "response" is that they got a lawyer, that's literally it. Misleading title imo.

I’d like to read into it a bit.

It said they put a lawyer on retainer which tells me they are planning to fight it.

If they just wanted a lawyer to review the case, they would have just paid for legal research or a consultation.

So I think this tells us a bit.

Once Nintendo actually filed a lawsuit rather than just a cease and desist, you pretty much have to retain a lawyer. Removing the project doesn't end the lawsuit. You're at the point where even surrendering would mean negotiating a settlement.

They definitely should fight it. It's a horseshit suit and emulation is clearly not copyright infringement. But whether they do or not they need a lawyer.
