The license didn't require acknowledgment at all. This is already a more meaningful gesture than is required. They are specifically calling out this software as something powering the Switch software.

MIT does require acknowledgement. Nintendo was legally obliged to include the full text of the license and the copyright notices in their documentation.
Not everyone is a fan of that requirement, which is why Unlicense, 0BSD, 1-clause BSD and Boost licenses were created.
