While you wait for the multi-award-winning RPG Disco Elysium to come to Nintendo Switch, why not play the Game Boy version instead? Disco Elysium fan Colin Brannan has "ported" the first part of this game to Nintendo's legendary portable unit.
If you don't have all the necessary equipment to play it on this system, the game can still be enjoyed through your internet browser and even downloaded on PC. Otherwise, here are some screenshots, and above is an official playthrough.
As for the actual game's release date on Switch - the last we heard was back in April alongside the announcement. At the time, the developer said it was "going to happen soon" but since then there have been no updates.
What do you think of this Game Boy version of Disco Elysium? Are you hoping we'll be able to play this game on the Switch before the end of 2020? Tell us down below.

Ick, IGN. Really don't want to support them.
i barely know a thing about that game despite that just the right people are loving it so I'm sorta excited to play it. But jesus when a port for the gameboy takes longer than the Switch version something ain't right.
@JayJ ? What's up with IGN?
By the way the ROM is here if you want to try it in a flashcard:

Damn, when first eyed the news, I thought it was a release date for the Switch version
@shazbot They're just a terrible organization these days.
@RasandeRose Me too 🙁
This is still pretty cool though
This is so random
I have played on PC and this game is worth the wait.
@shazbot Have you ever been on their site or seen their reviews?
@Rudy_Manchego That is the best profile pic I have ever seen.
Brilliant, a really great recreation of what is perhaps the game of the decade. It really is incredible.
@bobzbulder Thanks! I don't care how many Snyder cuts get released, this will always be my Man of Steel!
@nessisonett I would actually play this GB game version coz I love the original so much!
@bobzbulder Yeah, I don't a ton because there's not a lot of Nintendo coverage, and they're based out of SF so they've become overtly political, but nothing that would make me say, "Ick, I don't want to support them." @JayJ 's comment made me think there was some sort of scandal or something.
This is really cool. I like seeing modern pixel art techniques on older hardware, at first glance this looks like something to GB shouldn't be able to handle visually, but the limitations are still there.
Cool, but I did also get excited hoping for the Switch release date confirmation.
Worth mentioning the game was created using GB Studio (www.gbstudio.dev) a visual game builder that allows to make real Game Boy roms with no programming knowledge.
