They didn't build their games around 60fps. They just stopped advancing graphical features as soon as they dropped below 60.

No one starts at 30fps. They just put in as many stuff as they want and see how far it takes them. Everyone would like to push to 60 but at some point they will decide either for visual fidelity or fps. Nintendo chooses the latter while most people on PS4/X1 choose the former.

Then again thanks to the PS4s power some devs don't have to compromise. While on other platforms they have to choose.

60fps has been standard in most of Nintendo's games for a while now.

MKWii was 60fps, so MK8 targeted 60fps.

DKCR was 60fps, so Tropical Freeze targeted 60fps.

Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 were 60fps, so 3D World targeted 60fps.

Its alot easier to hit 60fps when you dont have much going on in terms of graphics though.  Yes, the Wii games were 60 but they werent really "lookers" were they, plus they were only running in 480p at best, which the hardware was more than capable of producing (lets remember the Wii was more powerful than the original xbox and the xbox on occasion could output games at 720p.  The Wii had a lot of power for SD only games it has to be said.  Thats how Nintendo managed it on the Wii.

On the Wii U, the games you mentioned again yes, are 60fps, but there isn't anything going on thats high end technically.  It all just "looks nice".
