If Nintendo are still selling games, whether they be crappy old 80s NES games on Virtual Console or the latest Switch games, it is up to them to make sure their IP remains protected - that's the entire point of copyright.
There are way more companies that are more strict than Nintendo, for example movie studios which are enforcing copyrights over films that haven't seen a release in over thirty years (including those which have never had a home release at all), with them making sure those pesky old VHS rips and bootleg DVDs are pulled from the internet ASAP (especially on YouTube), despite having no intentions whatsoever of releasing the movie again, be it digitally via Netflix or on DVD/Blu-Ray. The Keep Circulating The Tapes trope is a real thing.
