We simulate the bulge formation in very late-type dwarf galaxies from circumnuclear super star clusters (SSCs) moving in a responding cuspy dark matter halo (DMH). The simulations show that (1) the response of DMH to sinking of SSCs is detectable only in the region interior to about 200 pc. The mean logarithmic slope of the responding DM density profile over that area displays two different phases: the very early descent followed by ascent till approaching to 1.2 at the age of 2 Gyrs. (2) the detectable feedbacks of the DMH response on the bulge formation turned out to be very small, in the sense that the formed bulges and their paired nuclear cusps in the fixed and the responding DMH are basically the same, both are consistent with $HST$ observations. (3) the yielded mass correlation of bulges to their nuclear (stellar) cusps and the time evolution of cusps' mass are accordance with recent findings on relevant relations. In combination with the consistent effective radii of nuclear cusps with observed quantities of nuclear clusters, we believe that the bulge formation scenario that we proposed could be a very promising mechanism to form nuclear clusters.
