A common complaint against Wii's controllers is that while it adds new possibilities, it's also lacking buttons.  This is true.  However, I think most games could make a direct transition pretty well, even with waggle/pointing mostly being ignored.  Unless otherwise stated, these controls assume a Wiimote+nunchuk combination.

Super Mario 64, N64 in general

This button arrangement would work pretty well with most N64 games that used the standard middle-right setup.
