They are targeting exactly one person that they are in litigation with.

I don't know about that, they seem to be saying they are looking for his associates (emphasis mine):

In the course of our investigation, we also became aware of multiple other online actors who appeared to have a role in the Pirate Shops. However, we were unable to determine the identity of locations of these other actors with a sufficient degree of certainty to name them in the initial complaint.

[...]
However, because Williams allegedly evaded Nintendo’s attempt to serve him, and then didn’t appear in court, Nintendo argues in its filing that this meant they were unable to find these identities through discovery, and as such is seeking the subpoenas.

That's what I meant about Kotaku's misrepresentation. Read the paragraph you didn't quote, and they are saying they believe the guy was using multiple accounts. That's what they mean by "these identities", which news which isn't a glorified gossip rag have been pretty clear on.

Do you mean this quote from Nintendo"s submission to the court?

Nintendo has reason to believe that other accounts active in the SwitchPirates community may also have been controlled by Defendant, or else reflect other individuals who have worked alongside Defendant.

This is a very open ended statement, its not limited to alt accounts at all.
