Is it possible to make a 8-bit platformer?
Me and a few friends are planning on making a 8-bit platformer now we have tried some google searching but no matter what nothing leads to what were trying to find so things got me thinking is it even possible to make a 8-bit platformer in Unity, if your wonder what kind of platfromer we have in mind we have a game like shovel knight (I know shovel knight was made in its own engine) but we're wondering if a game like that can be made in Unity.
It's unclear what aspect of 8-bit you are hoping to capture; technically, no, Unity will not run on 8-bit architecture. If you want to make a game in the style of 8-bit games, you will have to limit the colors, image resolutions, audio file depth, etc yourself to match the hardware you want to emulate.
If you want to learn to make a platformer, you should look at the official Unity tutorials: https://unity3d.com/learn/tutorials/modules/beginner/live-training-archive/creating-a-basic-platformer-game
