For some of the mini games (like snowboarding) it would probably only take a few days for a single person to re-code the games. Short and small games are generally not code-intensive. And if you already have all the code, you're basically just re-writing things into a new language. If they can copy assets over then it goes even faster.

For something like Justice Monsters Five it might take a bit longer (especially if copying the mobile gacha/collection stuff). But again, all the code is essentially there, so you aren't creating something from scratch.

Rather than spend months working on gold-saucer events that people play for a week and never touch again (like the minion one), adding classic ff-arcade games that -were- successful would make sense. You already know people will like it and play it. And you don't have to build it from scratch.
