You're saying that the graphical limitations of the system you're trying to mimic's capabilities should be ignored because the common gamer wouldn't know any better? If you're trying to replicate something, you need to follow the rules completely, not get sorta close and hope that no one notices. What's the point of even attempting to call it NES styled sprites if you're not going to adhere to the rules of the console itself? :/
Yes. Be inspired by the NES, but don't let it's arbitrary restrictions hold back your art.
Shovel Knight broke NES restrictions left and right but did that make the game any worse?

Us, of course. And we represent a very small percentage of the people who play games.
