You can now play NES games online but the problem is you have to use the keyboard and you can't save games. Also not all games are listed for it.

Short answer: no.

Long answer: NOA does not believe in abandonware. This website only exists because they haven't been shut down yet.

These type of sites are illegal in everyway, the software (the game) belong to Nintendo and because the Wii can download these games it is a threat to Nintendo making money. So I suggest staying away from these sites.
