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?

Nintendo is pretty rabid about their IPs, they would personally deliver a cease and desist to a toddler drawing a Switch with crayons on cardboard, but if you mean this minigame, then you’ll probably be fine.
It seems so generic, if you really use nothing that belongs to Nintendo and maybe tweak the physics a little bit, it should pass at least as legally distinct.
And frankly, the game devs probably also took the idea from somewhere else, as I said, the mechanic seems pretty generic.
