I notice the covers for NES games on this site are meant for UGC cases, but on the order forms for UGCs, it does not mention that NES games will fit in them. How can I be sure that my NES games will fit into one? Do I need to mod it for my NES games to fit?

Yes, here is a youtube video on how to do it:

If you don't have the tool, you can cut it with an exacto knife. Really, it doesn't matter what you use. The key is to try and cut whatever gets in the way.

And don't worry too much if it looks like a hack job. It will always look like a hack job because it is a hack job. Just do the best you can.

I've never worked with cutting tools or exacto knives, but when I get the funds to start up my case collection, I'll start looking into it.

Would it be advisable to sand down any sharp leftover edges?

I suppose you could if you wanted to. I never sanded down any of my cases, nor do I ever worry about sharp edges.
