How about S.C.A.T. on NES?

I haven't played Dark Void, but you are supposed to be able to fly in that game.

The other game that comes to mind is Tribes Ascend (or any of its predecessors)

It's 16-bit and 2D, but I remember you could float around at any time during The Death and Return of Superman on SNES & Genesis. Just a double-tap of the jump button, IIRC.

Damn, the Pokemon Gen I remakes were made before the Physical/Special split. Oh well, at least they don't have just one stat for both attack and defense like the originals.

I think Just Cause 2 might have a jetpack.

It's been quite a while since I've played it. But I remember being a kid playing it and having trouble with the henchmen that had dynamite. So I'd fly around and punch them from above.
