Frankly I found Nintendo did return to it's roots with Wii. It was documented many times how Wii pulled much inspiration from NES. First off Wii emulated a lot of NES peripherals - light gun, power pad (or whatever it was called), power glove, etc.
Wii reintroduced the idea of simple, fun gameplay with games like Wii Sports and all Wii titles, Brain Age Academy and others. Most recently Rythym Heaven.
Wii had VC and WW.
Plus Wii literally went retro with Punch Out, 2D Mario, 2D Kirby (twice), 2D Metroid, 2D Donkey Kong Country. Heck you can throw in the 2D extensive story-mode in SSBB in there too. Wii Sports Resort had shades of Pilot Wings & Wave Race.
And compared to PS3/360, Wii games, and all Nintendo games are the most loyal to the gameplay that made NES classics great. Everyone else is more concerned with making playable movies these days where cinematics thrump sheer gameplay - Not Nintendo.
Really want more do you want? 8-bit games like Mega-man 9? Wii had quite a few of those on WW too.
