Yes, the new games have cooler graphics and all, but as a general rule they've seemed to get easier. So the old games for the NES in particular still have massive potential for people wanting a good challenge. Screw how many people you can teabag in Halo 3, you can't be considered a gamer with talent until you can beat Megaman 4 on the console.

You must mean Mega Man 2. That one was the hardest for me.
Looking back at old games is an interesting thing to do. Sometimes, I believe that people are strongly blinded by their nostalgia and the mentality of "back in the mah day." I think the reason that older people find old games better is that new games haven't changed much. And when the experience is fresh and new, it really sticks in the brain. There's nothing I haven't seen in the last five years that I hadn't seen before. It's harder to remember a game when there's nothing new or memorable. However, when you talk to younger gamers, they note that old games are exactly like new games. So, why would they want to deal with the crufty old sprites* when they get polygons? The core gameplay is still the same.
280 PS2 "classics?" I think that's close to probable. Go to gamerankings.com and filter for the top PS2 games. I read through the games and most of them I considered pretty fun at the time. Some of them I'd consider good games, but not classics.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
