Felix The Cat NES seems has almost no music covers at all. The game is not well known I guess. It’s an easy game, and if you want to introduce NES to a kid that could be a good choice for 1 player game, tho the controls could be tricky at first.
Batman NES is you typical hard rock cover. Done in good clean quality.
The Transilvania theme from Quackshot Starring Donald Duck SEGA Genesis is something avantgarde, with dissonant notes. It also reminds weirdness from other Transilvania themes(like Duck Tales 2 NES)

People keep making games for the old retro consoles. This is Irena Genesis Metal Fury for Sega Genesis/Mega Drive. The work in progress.
The game had successful campaign on Kickstarter, so mostly like it’s going to be finished. Tho there were cases when games got the necessary donations but then stopped. I think Sega+SHMUPs fans might be interested in such a game.
The graphics looks a bit amateur for my eye. Gameplay seems kinda OK.
Authors say it is inspired by classic games of the 90’s such as Thunder Force III / IV, Aero Blaster, Super Shinobi II and Contra Hard Corps.
I also see similarities with Gradius series.
Below is gameplay video of stage 1.

You know. I am not a fan of 16-bit consoles era. I hate how they got obsessed with more colors. And as result a very exaggerated colorization. Ugly gradients, with too much contrast and too smooth color transition between light and dark areas. I suspect the idea was to make it look more 3D.
Another thing of the games of that era is physics. It’s really crappy often. And it’s really strange. Because NES has excellent physics in many games. I do not know how to explain this.
Alien Soldier has both of these issues. Maybe not as much as some other games. However the gameplay compensate those. It’s quite enjoyavle. The game might be hard for a casual player. It takes time to get used to. Might be very confusing at first. Recommend to read some faq on controls. As this game not give a tutorial levels explanation of each thing.
You have various weapons. And various moves/abilities like dash, hover in the air, defense ball and more. And you will need to learn to use them. I mean the use of various moves and various weapons. It might feel a bit complex at first.
So that’s not a plug and play type of game. But requires to build a skill.
The game is run and gun type. It has tons of bosses. A lot of them. It reminds of Contra Hard Corps and Gunstar Heroes. So if you looking for good and challenging run and gun, this is it. But requires learning to build a skill.
It’s quite hard game. It has 2 difficulties. Which is a joke – Super Easy, Super Hard. And the easy one is not easy at all.
