In my personal opinion I would say Infernax developed by Berzerk Studios (same guys behind The Breach btw) which is a metroidvana in the same style as Simon's Quest and the Adventure of Link. What Infernax has what those games lack are a morality system that dictates the end of the game (Slay the skeleton or spare him? the choice is yours) and buckets upon buckets of 8-bit gore
Sonic Mania
Great gameplay (never played the genesis games outside of ports but they control pretty much the same to mania) great art, godly ost.
I know it's sort of the basic answer but I gotta go with Shovel Knight. It's just an incredibly polished game with a ton of replayability. Not to mention great music and a ton of homages to other classic retro titles.
Meeeeeeeeeega Man 9. Not really, the Scott Pilgrim game, its comfy and the art and music make me moan in euphoria whenever I play it. Also Mega Man 9 is good, best mega man game besides 7 maybe.
B)
we cannot be talking about retro styled games without bringing up shovel knight
Best regards

probably terraria. I also love mega man 9 a ton.
I'm the best for a reason.

is like the ninja gaiden classics, but better

I like Pizza!
I'm not super well-versed in retro-style games, but I did have the privilege of playing through Hotline Miami recently. I still have to play the second, but I really enjoyed the first. I also went down a bit of a dive on PS1-style horror games a few years back, with my absolute favorite of the bunch being No One Lives Under the Lighthouse.
The fear of blood tends to create fear for the flesh.
Undertale and deltarune
and i guess omori but not to the same level

I’d say Shovel Knight, love the gameplay and it’s basically an homage to megaman.
While Shovel Knight may be an homage to Mega Man, Mighty Gunvolt Burst is straight up another classic Mega Man title. And i say it does the formula to a perfect T, even more than that honestly.
Party Hard is a pretty cool retro-style game, I don't see people talk about it very much.
The basic gist is that you're a serial killer who's sick of these loud parties disturbing your sleep, so the goal of the game is to infiltrate the parties and kill every single person without getting caught.
Chillin' and grillin'
The only game I know that might fit this category is Knytt Stories.
