It isn't even nostalgia at this point - the pinnacle of gaming (at least IMO) was 96-2003... look at the games made in that era:

System Shock 2
Thief
Half-Life
Deus Ex
Baldur's Gate/Icewind Dale/Neverwinter Nights
C&C Red Alert, and other C&Cs
Starcraft
Diablo 1/2
EverQuest
Resident Evil 1-3
Final Fantasy 7,8,9,10
etc... etc...etc....

It's not even close lol
You are right... if you backtrack 5 years.
Doom/Doom2/Heretic
The Legend of Zelda LTTP
2D Metroid games.
Mother (Earthbound)
Super Mario Bros. 3/World
Sonic 2/3/Knuckles
2D Megaman games.
Final Fantasy 5/6 (Strictly superior to 8-10)
Heroes of Might and Magic III

The era when design/gameplay/story trumped graphics before everyone was OMG 3D HURRR!!!!.
A couple of the games on your list are good, but the bulk of it is laughable.
