Hello Legtlizrd,
For 8bit it truly depends on the project as it’s not a medium I actively engage with.
Can you do this in 8bit? F-777 - Sonic Blaster (4th track from "Let's Freaking Party" album) (youtube.com)
For this I would advise seeking another artist for the project. I don’t write remixes or covers of established works, I prefer to only write original scores.
