Part of it I think is nostalgic and such games being seen as classics. I would offer as well in same case, that there are those gamers who look to 8-bit and 16-bit games because of how often they tended to be more difficult, wanting that challenge.

Although this thread is old, I would like to write something here. I think that the 8 and 16 bit games that are created and consumed today only have one explanation: nostalgia (Both for those who create and for those who want to play). I'm well over 40 years old, I have a good computer to play high-resolution games, but from time to time I use my emulator to go back to the old 8 and 16 Supernitendo ones.
