I still have a lot of fun playing NES games. It was my first console, but back in the day I only had a handful of games. Since 2011-ish I've played loads of games for the first time and I've enjoyed plenty of them, so it can't be nostalgia for me liking those as I hadn't played them before.

Some games are terrible like Conan or Back to the Future. And some games you have to learn what the game wants from you and then it's fun like Battle of Olympus or Castlevania II.

And it's not just nostalgia, like others have suggested. I can get an NES game I've never played, and have fun with it. Just bought Magician for the NES, since I never heard of it. Always happy to check out a new action-RPG.

This. The original question is way too broad. There are 700+ games, you can't make a sole statement regarding their quality or fun factor.

Being born in Brazil, I had much more contact with the Master System than with the NES (actually, the first time I ever saw an NES was many years after the SNES was already on the market).
Having said that, I often have a blast discovering new things for the Famicom/NES and, even though I was raised as a Sega kid, I can say that I've a lot more respect towards the NES now than I used to have back in the day.
Even though I still like the Master System's library much more than that of the NES, in the last couple of years I've played, for the first time, games such as Akumajo Special: Boku Dracula-Kun (Kid Dracula), Splatterhouse: Wanpaku Graffiti and Ai Senshi Nicol that have become some of my favorites of the generation.

Yes. I have fun. Lots of fun.

I know there are a bunch of stinkers on the NES, but there are some of the best games of all time on that system. Just like any system. There are a bunch of duds, but mixed in there are some real hidden gems.

Sometimes I have fun but most of the time I don't like the new games I try. I only like the staples. But I have had a few odd games that are amazing. I highly reccomend Felix the Cat :). It's an amazing side scroller with awesome power ups and visuals and an iconic character. It's a must play. But it is a tad expensive around 60 dollars.
