Due to various reasons (accessibility of the hardware, feasibility of solo development or with a small team), most other consoles do not have such an active scene. There are people making games for other consoles, but not in such abundance as the NES.

An exception is the Game Boy and Game Boy colour. There GBStudio has facilitated a similar wealth of games. I personally don't know that scene very well, but I keep seeing it grow from the periphery.

The N64 homebrew scene is very active: we have libdragon (which is a very mature and relatively easy to use) and more recently, pyrite64.

There are plenty of new homebrew games (some really impressive, like cathode quest and junk runner), but I didn't see yet a good curated list
