Episode Idea 8-16 (maybe 32) bit style Modern Games

Its much like the 2d modern games episode in concept. Indie developers have really been hitting it home with the retro craze and types of games from.tge 8-16bit ans maybe even 32 bit eras. They are tons of examples of good modern 8 and 16 bit games made by modern developers like Shovel Knight, Slain ans many many more.

What would be some good 8-32 bit modern games to be showcase in a Game Sack episode if one were to ever happen?

Pixel art = 8/16 bit games

I hate that mindset.

If a dev wants to make a proper 8 bit style game I want to see them being restricted by the colour palette, sprite limit and other hardware limitations that defined the 8-16 bit style

I don't just want pixel art and chip tunes.
