NES games are still being played, analyzed, and mastered by new people, including people who have only known the NES as "retro" gaming. Hell, the most recent winner of the Classic Tetris World Championship (which plays NES Tetris) was only 14 when he won the 2021 competition. The speedrunning community for NES games also contains a lot of people much younger then the games they're playing. Given that, I think I can say with confidence that NES games will transcend a particular generation because they already have. And there's no sign of that slowing down anytime soon.
