Ignore what those people say, most of those have never played on a Virtual boy. People like to believe what they read.

It doesn't have to be a console.

This sounds like fun!
Hmm... well i think i can do as good as the snes.... but what game to mimic...?
Hmm, well i've always had a strong love for the Metroid series, maybe i can make a short demo game like Super Metroid!
Unless i read wrong, do we have to make a game to look like its suited for a set console or something else entirely?

yes you are supposed to choose an old console or computer (ie Atari 2600 or commodore 64) and make a game, preferably original, that looks like it is running on that computer or console.
For instance a game that is running on a ZX Spectrum will look like this game http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manic_Miner
Because it's so old there are some rules you need to abide by, and that gives games on old consoles and computers unique looks.
When you get to something like a Snes or Megadrive/Genesis, because they are more powerful the games lose their distinct looks.
But you can choose a Snes if you want. It just wont look like a Snes game, it will look like a Click game! (if you get my meaning)

The Snes has no distinct look really, besides a kinda small screen resolution,

Basic "rules" for SNES
each 8x8 tile must only use 16 colors
the whole screen can only use 256 colors, though these can change on a line-to-line basis to allow for gradients (donkey kong country does this for example)
256x224 resolution
tranparencies supported
- Ok, you must admit that was the most creative cussing this site have ever seen -
Make some more box arts damnit!

The demo only has to be short, but since i'm a big 2D metroid fan i guess i'm a type of cave type of person.
I do alot better when i'm designing undeground sprites.
A Cave Dweller i guess.... no wait Dr james already has that.... um.... i dunno Cave Guy.
