Splatoon Battle Royale. 8 players, knock out 2 every 3:00 minutes. That way, you only have 8 colors of paint, and you aren't drastically changing a popular Nintendo property in a way that is just to conform to the battle Royale craze.
Kills vs paint coverage would have to be tuned. Don't know what the criteria would be, maybe a different category each round. 1st round splats, 2nd coverage. 3rd round sudden death. One splat and you're out.

I specifically asked Nintendo about that and had that response. If a dev/pub wants an existing game to not support it, they have to ask.
When submitting a game, you are encouraged to enable cloud save. You have to have a good reason to not support it.
Reasons to not support it are generally based around preventing a user abusing it to cheat in your game. I can’t think of anything beyond Animal Crossing being too concerned about players rewinding their saves, but some games that give a random weapon drop, for example, might want to also prevent rewinding.Multiple Switch Games Including Pokémon, Splatoon, And Dark Souls Do Not Support Cloud Saves (Update: Nintendo Responds) - Game Informer — "The vast majority of Nintendo Switch games will support Save Data Cloud backup.

Real shame since even a retweet from Nintendo probably would have given us a big boost in visibility. I get that it was just a port, but after spending months getting stonewalled by Nintendo when we were trying to get permission to release on Switch, going "fine, we'll play by your rules" and getting a publisher so we could get approved, and still getting ignored by Nintendo when the game was done and set to release is highly frustrating."
"It's a good game and I daresay a good percent of those million+ people who bought Octopath Traveler would like our game if they knew it existed. We couldn't even get somebody to fix our store page before launch (which never indicated that the game had a preorder/early purchase sale and until just recently, didn't even have our trailer on it) and the page went up about a month before launch so there was plenty of time."Blade Strangers for Nintendo Switch - Nintendo Game DetailsMutant Mudds Collection for Nintendo Switch - Nintendo Game Details
