A good image compression algorithm could. PNG just isn't smart enough for this purpose. One could argue that the NES code and PPU data itself constitute a very efficient compression scheme for compliant images, albeit human-crafted rather than algorithmic. IOW, it's unlikely any automatic compression scheme will outperform simply running the SMB program.
