While I am too young and to new of a gamer to have played those games on the actual consoles, I have played them on the PC. And all I can say is, damn! Those things are way to difficult for me. However, I do appreciate their value and I like them anyway. It seems like back then, ALL gamers must've been hardcore. There didn't really appear to be any "casual games." That is, except for Kirby. :3
In today's games, I think it really depends on what you're playing. Most games are obviously easier than old-school games, but the difficulty is just enough to keep you challenged. However, it really depends on what kind of games you're looking at. Nowadays, there are both hardcore and causal games. Kirby's Epic Yarn is super easy, while Super Meat Boy is insane. IMO, most games hit the sweet spot in the middle.
Are modern video games too easy?
