Sega Master System had basically all the same shit ... flattened d-pad controller, light gun, it even had 3D glasses.

Master System came almost two years later though...

I do agree that the games were the most important factor for the success of the NES. But the Gamepad was still a massive innovation and really made a difference. Just for the record, I was also around back in the days and experienced it first hand. And for me it was an even bigger deal than the Wiimote or the DS. Those two systems also wouldn't have their success without appealing games, some of which were only possible because of the new input methods.
