Has Nintendo shut down a game because it cloned the gameplay of one of their games? - eviltoast

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?

    Even in their case, the phrasing within their patent form is fairly specific to their games. Unless one completely clones the system, I would be surprised if they got legal trouble for it. Better to check with a qualified lawyer of course.
