I don't think Nokia is sued yet. Nintendo is looking into the situation.

Nevertheless Nokia inadvertently promoted their device by using copyrighted material from Nintendo. Inadvertently because I don't think it was a deliberate corporate decision to make such a video, but since conversations.nokia.com is Nokia's official blog and those who write there are either Nokia employees or get paid by Nokia, Nokia might be responsible. For example you can't just take a song from some artist and promote your product without asking for permission to use said song.
