Hello and thank you for contacting Nintendo,
At this time, the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) and its games have not
been announced for release. You never know what the future might hold, so be
sure to keep checking our web site at www.nintendo.com for news on all upcoming
products.
For information on new or upcoming games, go to our site and open the "Game
List." Select the system and other sort criteria, and then select "Go." If
there is no release date listed below the game title, it means that the game has
been announced, but no release date has been set. From here, you can click on
the title of a game to find out all the information that we currently have
available on it.
Keep checking our website for the latest information. When there is new
information to share on announced games or other upcoming products, our website
is the best official source! Remember, any posted release dates are estimates
and subject to change. When it gets close to a products estimated release date,
you may want to check with your local retailers to see when it may be available
in your area.
Good luck with all of your games!
Nintendo of America Inc.

I got an email like that a while back where I asked them "where can I find nintendo games to buy online?", they replied simply saying "We have no worries about our nintendo games anymore, you can download ROMS from [insert 20 links to ROM sites]. I was baffled as to why they told me to do that so I asked "I thought ROMs were illegal, and you didn't like them much.." they said "Yes they are, but we don't really enforce the law with the older games like that, if you want to download the roms we have no problem with it."

This is actually pretty prevalent with ROMs/abandonware in general, from what I've seen. Customer support is directing people to the same sites that legal departments are sending cease & desists to. | |

Hello,
Thanks for your e-mail. As you probably know, we officially retired the NES in
January 1995, so we will not be making any new titles for this system. The NES
was released more than 15 years ago, and players have long requested games that
are beyond its capabilities. There were nearly 700 games released for it, so
there are plenty of games to play.
At this time, the best option for finding NES games is through stores that sell
used video game products. Places like flea markets, pawn shops, and garage
sales are also good places to check.. If you find that you are having trouble
locating a particular title, you can also try contacting the company that
released it. If the game was released by Nintendo or you do not know who
produced it, you can call our Consumer Service Representatives at 1-800-255-3700
to see if we have it.
Our Consumer Service Representatives are available between 6:00 a.m. and 9:00
p.m. Pacific time, Monday through Saturday, or 6:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. Sunday.
In general, we don't sell games directly, but occasionally, we have a few games
available. These are in such limited supply that we do not publish a list.
Sincerely,
Nintendo of America Inc.
