The dynamical evolution of super star clusters has been investigated in dark matter halos depicted with a cuspy- or soft-core density profile. The simulations show that (1) exponential bulges with central cusps form in both cases;(2) distinctive bulge formation rates are derived for cuspy- and soft-core profile; (3) masses of bulges and nuclear clusters are more heavier in case of cuspy-core profile; (4) massive, nuclear star clusters possibly form with no discernible bulges at different ages in cuspy- or soft-core cases.
