Nintendo has 3 assets that can be easily licensed to TV manufacturers: the recognizable brand name, great game franchises, and great inexpensive hardware controllers.
Every Smart TV should come with Nintendo as a service. And the box should include one or more Wii controllers. The license fee can be quite small because "every" TV comes with it, regardless of whether the customer is a gamer.
Nintendo can follow up with online game downloads and additional controllers. TVs could even have a slot for DS game cards.
