Wii controls for non-Wii games

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.
