A lot of the things in the game feel like a deal where the developers were still trying to get a grip on how to develop for this hardware.
The severe ghosting the game had on the original broccoli screen is probably because the game’s development started before the hardware was nailed down. Same thing happened with the GBA, and it’s supposedly some launch titles have washed out colors, they looked better on the earlier prototypes.

The GBA stuff might as well be completely modern, except for the GBA's own technical limitations - the often fuzzy sound and comparably low resolution.
I tend to use an LCD filter with the MiSTer, but there have been some really good megabezel variants for retroarch when it comes to displaying handhelds one a big screen.
You can go full silly like:

But of course there's more restrained middle ground, too.-
Insane shaders. Have you seen this?

Incredible work on this guy's Twitter-
That's kinda genius. Could combine it with head tracking or something to make it a little more realistic and less repetitive

I can't believe Nintendo phoned it in with the sound so bad.
