That's quite often the case with thee issues - it's simply a finance game by the player with the deep pockets - they can afford to effectively bankrupt a smaller player who may have done nothing wrong.
There should be penalties for that.
"Yeah, we know we're wrong but we're just going to litigate as much as possible to drain our adversary's pockets."
That kind of thing should warrant its own criminal case.
Also, in the future, emulation devs really shouldn't reveal their identity.
I wonder if 5heybwouldnt have started charging if Nintendo would have done anything.
