Fans of the Breaking Bad spin-off Better Call Saul are getting ready to say goodbye to the critically acclaimed series as it heads into its final episode next Monday. But while many are beginning to contemplate what on earth they'll be doing with their lives after the finale airs, others are being a bit more productive with their time.
Take YouTuber LumpyTouch and artists Game Boy Demakes, for instance! As reported by our brand new sister site Time Extension, the creators have concocted a beautiful Game Boy adaptation of Better Call Saul that effectively "demakes" some of the show's most iconic scenes.
The adaptation is strictly an animation at this time, so you sadly can't actually play the game in any way, but it's nevertheless a fantastic shot at capturing the show's essence! You've got characters like Saul Goodman (or Jimmy McGill, if you like), Chuck McGill, Mike Ehrmantraut, Kim Wexler, and Gus Fring all making appearances in what looks like an entertaining mash up of side-scrolling platforming, shoot-em-up, and boxing gameplay.
We also can't get over how perfect the show's theme tune sounds in 8-bit form! Check out the video below for a glimpse at the "game" in action:

Animal Crossing x Better Call Saul:
Better Phone Joan?
One of the best TV shows ever made, I don't want it to end
I would play this in a heartbeat
Not our precious Jimmy!
This show is very good, I suggest everyone to give it a watch.
There's something inherently hilarious about Mike Ehrmantraut's pixelated unimpressed face.
They should make a spinoff kid's cartoon series Slippin' Jimmy
Man, these last few episodes have been a masterpiece but a slog. I love this producer and the way he makes little things into dramatic events (The fly episode of BB was one of my favorites) but I'm afraid it's losing my wife.
Only 1 more episode left, it’s been a fun ride.
Mike’s dialogue being completely unintelligible when compressed and crunched down is amazing.

Love this, don't want better call Saul to end. The first couple of series were really slow but its been so good towards the end.
Gonna miss the Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul universe once it all comes to an end, but at least the memes will be everlasting.
Funny how I literally watched that video a while ago, and now it's here.
As someone who's never watched Breaking Bad or Better Call Saul (and quite frankly isn't really interested in either of them at the moment), this is a fantastic job. You could've had it be on GBA to mirror a certain other lawyer who thrives in a kangaroo court but that's more a nitpick than anything, this is still fantastic.
They should make a dedicated handheld called the Ozymandias.
That was so charming to watch. Better Call Saul has to be the best show on TV right now.
I wanted to see Jimmy drink his pee in the desert to recover some health.
Would expect the Jimmy act to be more like a immoral Ace Attorney, instead of a side scrolling platformer.
That looked amazing! Great job by the creators.
I’m watching Breaking Bad right now, so this was super cool to see!
This is beautiful. I can't wait for the finale next week to crush all of my hopes and dreams for Saul & Co.!
