Am I missing any here?
Clu Clu Land: Welcome to New Clu Clu Land (FDS/GCN/Wii/3DS/Wii U) - The last release for the disk system is a home conversion of Vs. Clu Clu Land from the arcades. It includes additional levels, new level themes, and at least one new enemy. Is an unlockable in Animal Crossing for the GameCube, labeled as Clu Clu Land D. Has yet to see a Virtual Console rerelease in North America or PAL regions.
Donkey Kong: Original Edition (Wii & 3DS) - This is a modern modification of the original NES version, which reinstates the missing cement factory stage and some intermission animations that were originally absent. Has been available digitally in various ways on the 3DS and the Wii. In North America, a download code for the 3DS Virtual Console was sent to users who purchased one of five select 3DS titles on the Nintendo eShop and registered it on Club Nintendo from October 1, 2012 to January 6, 2013. So far, that's its only appearance in North America.
Ice Climber (FDS) - A 1988 conversion of Vs. Ice Climber for the Famicom Disk System. Vs. Ice Climber includes a number of changes such as expanding the number of levels, extra music, the addition of some new mechanics like strong gusts of wind, the inclusion of a new enemy, and level select functionality . The FDS conversion removes the difficulty settings and changes some graphical details to be closer to the original Famicom release.
Kaettekita Mario Bros. (FDS) - This 1988 title was released in Japan for the Family Computer Disk System. It improves upon the Famicom original in various ways, adds a new mode, and incorporates advertisements between levels for various Mario games and the game's sponsor, Japanese food company Nagatanien.
Mario Bros. Classic (NES) - This 1993 PAL release enhanced the original NES title along the lines of the changes that happened to the original game mode in Kaettekita Mario Bros., such as adding intermissions to bring the game closer to the arcade original. No advertisements though and the additional Nagatanien World game mode isn't present.
Super Mario Bros. 2 (NES/Wii/3DS/Wii U) - This 1988 NES release was based on the Japanese Famicom title, Doki Doki Panic. Many graphical changes were undertaken in its conversion into Super Mario Bros. 2 for Western regions. Major changes beyond the graphical makeover include the elimination of the requirement that each level must be completed by each of the four playable characters and the addition of Mario's traditional running ability.
Vs. Excitebike (FDS & Wii U) - A 1988 FDS conversion of the arcade title of the same time, which will be releasing to the Wii U Virtual Console in North America soon. It included additional tracks, adds new music, features a new versus mode, and thanks to the rewritable disk format, player created tracks could be saved.
Sadly, much of Nintendo's Vs. lineup from the arcade has never been brought home to the NES/Famicom despite it usually not only being different, but arguably, also enhanced over the original NES/Famicom releases. And since Nintendo ignores their arcade lineup for the Virtual Console, the Vs. exclusives continue to be absent despite running on what's essentially NES hardware.
Also, I'm not including variations here that aren't enhanced beyond some cosmetic modifications (The 25th anniversary version of SMB that PAL Wii's came with for a while thus doesn't count, for instance). I'm also not including titles like Super Luigi Bros. from NES Remix 2 or Super Mario All-Stars, since it's not NES code and can't be played on this hardware.
