Seems like probably both, no?

I'm guessing Nintendo isn't too happy about this (in general they seem very concerned about their brand) and Amazon is likely happy to stem some of the negative backlash about counterfeit goods on their platform.
I'm not surprised to see that Apple products are likely to fall under this umbrella - another company very concerned about their brand.
Nope. Plenty of brands have sued sellers, but few get that kind of treatment. Otterbox, Skullcandy, Standard Process, Popsocket, ecobee, The Noco Company, Prevagen, Rainbow Light have all sued Amazon sellers.
