Hi bit is a term they kinda coined because they think it's more accurate and fair of a term. I mean these are not Sega or Super Famicom games afterall, they are scaled to support much much higher resolutions of today.
These games look 16 bit and such, but in reality they are far far beyond the technical limitations of actual 16 bit.

The best way to describe it is, looking through rose-colored lenses for what you remembered SNES games to be.

Am I the only one who thinks it looks more like a GBA game?

Not that I'm complaining, I loved the GBA.

I mean that works too. The basic idea behind it is. It looks like it, but it performs much better than what that hardware could.

Nope, you'll have to live with the shame of having asked a question on the steam forums for the rest of your life. People will point and laugh at you in the streets, children will throw old copies of the Atari version of E.T. at you and all your friends will know... oh they will know.
