Nintendo didn't just use a DMCA takedown request because those apply to user generated content on a public repository of data. See: YouTube videos, Soundcloud uploads, GitHub repositories, etc. Those are selective content objections filed to site operators that a license holder asks for removal/delisting of infringing works.
In this case not only was it Nintendo content, it was the whole site flagrantly abusing IP laws. Had they issued a takedown request, it would have been sent to LoveROM/Retro's web host, domain registrar, etc. But directly contacting the site operators was relevant because I doubt that had a "DMCA claim fulfillment" section of their site. Additionally, it was also delivered as a legal order due to apparent monetization on the infringing data.
