i wonder how many retro style games could have a reasonable facsimile made of them on an 8-bit console (NES, Sega Master System, PC-88, MSX, etc)

Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon: Probably? need to change aspect ratio though
Mega Man 9/10: almost certainly with minor changes
Mega Man α (minigame in ZX advent): maybe
Tiger, Tiger (minigame in Xenoblade 2): Almost certainly
VVVVVV: probably, yeah

Follow

as for 16-bit style games being ported reasonably well to the SNES or Sega Genesis/MegaDrive or Turbografx-16 or I *guess* we can count the Neo Geo...

Shovel Knight: Maybe? I feel like some major changes would be needed
Octopath Traveller: haha no
Rivals of Aether: actually probably could
Axiom Verge: would require major changes to the graphics and probably removal of some powerups but I think you could do a fair approximation
