The quirky and beloved creature-collecting RPG, The New Denpa Men, is making a surprising return to mobile platforms. Initially a favorite on the Nintendo 3DS, where it pioneered the use of augmented reality through the 3DS camera, the game later transitioned to the Nintendo Switch. Now, set for a release on iOS and Android on March 10th, as reported by Gematsu, it's poised to reintroduce its unique gameplay to a broader audience.
The Denpa Men series, known for its odd charm and AR-based gameplay, involves collecting Denpa Men, creatures that inhabit radio waves, from the real world and battling them in dungeon challenges. While not as mainstream as franchises like Mario or Zelda, the series has carved out a niche on Nintendo platforms. Developer Genius Sonority isn't new to the mobile space, having previously released the original version of The New Denpa Men on mobile before its Switch remaster.
This move back to mobile could signal a potential global release, especially considering the Switch version was made available worldwide, unlike the Japan-exclusive original mobile launch. As Nintendo continues to expand its mobile offerings, the return of The New Denpa Men to smartphones is a testament to the company's commitment to bringing its diverse catalog to new platforms.
