The NES isn't that old. 1985-1993 was when it being produced in the U.S. SNES was 1991 through 1996 or 1997. I bet both systems' Japanese counterparts were produced at least twice as long.
Entities that produced the games and likely were assigned the copyright are game companies, which should be trackable, and in some cases, still exist (like Capcom or Konami). You might have problems hunting down copyright owners for unlicensed games like the Wisdom Tree games, but those all sucked anyway.
It's not like an 8-bit computer platform where individuals produced a lot of content and are hard to find.
