An international company like Nintendo has the privilege of being able to choose the venue for their litigation (they can claim damages occurred in any one of them). They can file the case in any federal circuit court they want based on whether they think the judges might be amenable. This increases their odds of forcing the defendant to appeal, making things very costly. They don't have to win the case, they just need to destroy their opponents financially or intimidate them into a settlement.
