>it's like an intentional design choice (even though it obviously isn't, and is just crude and unpolished).

It's intentional, if misguided. They felt Circle was too dark so they compensated, but went way, way overboard. That being said, the puke neon is reduced a bit by having a non-backlit GBA or a setting which tries to tone down the colors to replciate a non-backlit display.

>has modded multiple GBA/SP systems with IPS screens
Most gba games were made with the GBA/SP dark screen in mind and the IPS screen oversaturates the image

>3ds has an atrociously low resolution
You don't need more than 240p for retro.

>mGBA
The 3DS is literally an upgraded GBA and can run GBA games natively.
Just use open_agb_firm/VC injection.
There is no point to use mGBA on 3DS unless you want to trade pokemon (just use PKSM) or play Boktai.

HoD's only flaw is that it's oversaturated. Iga hated how CotM was dark as hell on OG GBA so he made HoD have pastel colors.

If you're playing on an emulator, fiddle with the color settings. GBA games are saturated in order to compensate for the dim screen from the early models.

I'd say it's a good one as well once you fix up the colors.

Like whichever one you want. It's just demonstrating different saturation levels. OP revealed that he's actually some kid who played Link's Awakening on VBA-M instead of a real console.

"Real Colors" setting is default, and shows how it would look like on a GBA-SP screen. Gameboy Colors shows how it would look like on an original GBA-screen.

Gambatte has a palette that looks more like a gbc screen.

The same issue happens with GBA and NDS games too.
