Indie Retro Revival School. If that's not an option, Old School.
Adam always has a snappy comeback! I suppose hacksacking keeps your mind sharp. So when would you roughly say the Indie Retro Revival School movement started?
Oh, I have no idea, but if we're going by your calendar, it would mean any retro-style game made ASM64 (the year of our lord, Super Mario). When 3D came along, it felt like developers forgot everything they'd ever done and started learning design from scratch. But those who have built on NES- and SNES-era ideas have made some fantastic games even better than their predecessors. These games don't get popular attention because apparently progress means forgetting everything that's been done before, not improving upon it.

Interesting perspective!
BTW, If you haven't already played "Ultimate Arcade Games" for the GBA track it down now! It rocks.
