Shovel Knight is a 2D side-scrolling platformer with an 8-bit graphical style.
Minecraft is not 8-bit, it is simply designed to graphically use the art style of old 8-bit games. Depending on the version of the game Minecraft is either 32-bit or 64-bit.
In the simplest of terms, 8-bit music is named so after the 8-bit sound processors that early games consoles like the Atari 2600 and Commodore 64 employed. Rather than being created by traditional instruments being recorded and imported as loops into the game, they were synthesised using the computer chips themselves.
As far as mainstream processor architecture goes, we are still in the 64 bit era. Era, it's spelled era. 8-bit and 16-bit, for video games, specifically refers to the processors used in the console. The number references the size of the words of data used by each processor.
The main difference between an 8 bit image and a 16 bit image is the amount of tones available for a given color. An 8 bit image is made up of fewer tones than a 16 bit image. This means that there are 256 tonal values for each color in an 8 bit image.
Technically, Terraria is 16-bit, but as you said, with many more colors.

32 bits is enough to address 4GB of memory at once. This 4GB address limit applies to each process as each process have its own address space but some of the address space is taken up by the kernel which might run inside the process address space to save time.
16 bit is plenty since it provides almost 100db of range when most music has 20-70db of dynamic range. We record with 24 bit because we dont know the dynamic range before it is recorded and there is very little penalty for doing so.
The 8085 microprocessor is an 8-bit processor available as a 40-pin IC package and uses +5 V for power. It can run at a maximum frequency of 3 MHz. Its data bus width is 8-bit and address bus width is 16-bit, thus it can address 216 = 64 KB of memory. The internal architecture of 8085 is shown is Fig.
In the electronics world, each
binary digit is commonly referred to as a
bit. A group of
eight bits is called a byte and four
bits is called a nibble.

8 bit microcontroller means CPU or ALU can process 8 bit data at a time. Means it has to take 8 bit data from memory (which it has to process). Thus each location in memory is 8 bit and data bus is also 8 bit. Registers in RAM has to be 8 bit for temporary storage of results. Status.
8 bits, can represent positive numbers from 0 to 255.

One of the primary advantages of a 32-bit microcontroller over an 8-bit microcontroller is its superior processing speed. A typical 8-bit microcontroller usually runs at 8 Mhz while a 32-bit microcontroller can be clocked up to hundreds of Mhz. 32-bit microcontrollers often have 8 times more RAM than their 8-bit peers.
1 byte is 8 bits. We get our ASCII charachter set from the 8 bit ASCII system because you have 256 combinations (0-255). 8-bit color deals with 256 colors. 16 bit is 65,536 combinations (or in the case of color, 65,536 colors). 32 bit is MILLIONS of combinations/colors.
From there, a group of 4 bits is called a nibble, and 8-bits makes a byte. Bytes are a pretty common buzzword when working in binary. Processors are all built to work with a set length of bits, which is usually this length is a multiple of a byte: 8, 16, 32, 64, etc. It could be 16-bits, 32, 64, or even more.
A 16-bit integer can store 216 (or 65,536) distinct values. In an unsigned representation, these values are the integers between 0 and 65,535; using two's complement, possible values range from −32,768 to 32,767.
16-bit stack processors in general have lower costs than 32-bit processors. Their internal data paths are narrower, so they use fewer transistors and cost less to manufacture. They only need 16-bit paths to external memory, so they have half as many memory bus data pins as 32-bit processors.
