They also didn’t send a cease and desist but reached out to him directly and asked him to take it down.

You're right, and I should have double checked and worded it better. However, for all intents and purposes, politely asking him to take it down is the same as a cease and desist.

they are worried about having their IP associated with proprietary Nintendo libraries.

That is indeed apparent, however I still don't get it. What do they hope to gain from currying favour from Nintendo? They don't sell Nintendo games on Steam, and doing so is a pipe dream (lol sleepy Mario).

The result is the same but there's a huge difference between getting legally threatened by a big company and being asked nicely.

What do they hope to gain from currying favour from Nintendo?

The knowledge of having zero chance to be sued by Nintendo.
