Hackers do quasi-legal stuff and publish it all the time. It's a part of the hacker ethos. But it's risky and if you want to do legit business under your brand or identity, not recommended.
I don't think you'd get a reply. The TOS is clear and questions about it are legal questions. If you're so inclined, you could hire a lawyer to talk to their lawyer -- or even to answer your question about if it's a TOS violation.
But there's an easier way to tell. Every feature that is in every game in the Nintendo store is a feature that doesn't violate TOS. And no features that aren't already in the games in the store would be allowed by the TOS. So if you haven't seen it in-game already, it's not going to be allowed. Full stop.
This is true of Xbox, and PlayStation, too, and all other cloud-based services and stores like the App Store, etc. On PC, the difference is obvious, with game devs using an SDK (like mod.io) to include and promote mods in their games. They're making it official. Until you see some UGC inside an official game on the Nintendo store, I think it's safe to say it doesn't exist.
