Unfamiliar with the device, but here's some from the top of my head and from my experience that seem less on the masochist side:
Neo Geo: Metal Slug X, 3 and 5, I'd say.
SNES: Final Fantasy VI
Mega Drive: Tanglewood (and yes, it's an actually modern game)
GBC/GBA: maybe Shantae? It feels in an odd spot between arcade difficulty and streamlined/story-oriented difficulty.
Apple IIGS & Macintosh Classic: the MacVenture series.
NES: Nyx: The Paradox Relic (also modern game)

MetalSlug is fun but it's hard without infinite credits.

I think the first Shantae was a bit more difficult than the later instalments; it might or might not feel frustrating. I'd also recommend Super Metroid and Metroid Zero Mission. SM does little in the way of active hand-holding but I think it's designed well enough to feel fair. MZM is an improved remake of the original Metroid and actually gives you pointers on where to go next. Of course if those two work out there's also Metroid Fusion but I'd play the other two first.
