There were some licensed games in Japan that they'd never release in the West, and also a relatively large scene for unlicensed/'bootleg' games. Fun slightly related factoid - the Game Genie was an unlicensed hardware mod and they actually got sued by Nintendo, and won.
I somehow suspect in modern times they'd have lost.
