Has Nintendo shut down a game because it cloned the gameplay of one of their games? (self.gamedev)

I'm developing a game that very closely mimics the gameplay of the ghost minigame from Nintendo Land. I'm not including Nintendo characters, names, etc.

Is there any precedent of Nintendo going after people for something like this?

No see, the gameplay is what OP is worried about and your example wasn’t an example of a gameplay clone
