NES should be #1 because it introduced most of the biggest franchises ever :

Dragon Quest
Final Fantasy
Castlevania
Contra (arcade port)
Mega Man
Metal Gear (MSX port)
Ninja Gaiden (arcade port)
Street Fighter (well kind of...Street Fighter 2010) (sequel to arcade game)
Tetris (Game Boy port)

and of course Super Mario Bros. Metroid, Zelda, Kirby, Wario, Excitebike, Punch-Out! and Yoshi

Wario was from the Game Boy unless you're talking about his NES puzzle game, Punch-Out!! was an arcade game first, and Yoshi is from the SNES, unless you're talking about his NES puzzle game.

Tetris was first introduced on the NES in 1988 (TETЯIS). MSX was Japan only. And Ninja Gaiden and Contra (and also Punch-Out!!) gained popularity on the NES. Yoshi first appearance was in SMB 3 but the first self-titled Yoshi game was released on the NES in 1992. And yes I was talking about Wario's Woods on the NES. 

The console and handheld rights to Tetris were granted to Nintendo in 1989, so your date is incorrect.

Tetris was a launch title for the Game Boy in 1989, and then released on the NES.

The game was already illegally distributed on the PC and in an arcade version made by Atari.

 

I'd let a little confusion slide, but... have you played Super Mario Bros. 3?  There is a similar looking dinosaur in the game, but it's not playable and you can't interact with it at all, and it's not named Yoshi.

Yoshi is from Super Mario World on the SNES in 1991.
