I would say that the quality has gone up since last gen. Since, I had the Cube as my main console before and have played all of the Nintendo titles from that system and the Wii, the Wii wins out by a small margin. On a game-by-game level:
Galaxy= better than Sunshine and Mario 64
Super Paper Mario= Not better than TTYD, but it is a different genre so it's not really a fair comparison.
Mario Party 8 = Not the best, not the worst.
Brawl = Bigger than Melee, a much better single player experience and it has Online(bad or not).
On the comment about shovelware, I think some people miss the true definition of the term. The metaphor implies that the creators showed little care for the original software, as if the new compilation or version had been indiscriminately created/ported with a shovel, without any care shown for the condition of the software on the newly created product.
I don't remember Nintendo ever making shovelware, just because a game is not good dosen't make it shovelware. Anyone remember Geist.
Remember your history or you are doomed to repeat it.
