Old-school, 2-D graphics will never get old to me, and Bubble Pig ($0.99) by Donut Games looks like it was made to be played on a Super Nintendo.
The game's premise is simple: You must help Bubble Pig light up his fairy tale world to keep the evil foxes away. If you don't, consider yourself dinner. Bubble Pig looks like it got its visual and gameplay influences from platformer classics like Super Mario World, Metroid, and even Earthworm Jim. At least, that's what comes to mind when seeing this gameplay video:
See what I mean? Bubble Pig has Game Center and Retina display support, meaning it'll look great to get those in-game achievements on all your iDevices.
In addition to looking like a game you'd have on a dusty cartridge in a box somewhere in the garage, more of Bubble Pig's features include (from the app's release notes):
