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

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?

If it doesn't clone assets of their game then the legally can't do anything. Gameplay elements are not protected like that.
