Get ready, mobile gamers! The quirky and beloved RPG, The New Denpa Men, is making a triumphant return to smartphones. Originally a hit on the Nintendo 3DS and later reimagined for the Switch, this unique creature-collecting game is set to captivate players once again on iOS and Android starting March 10th. Known for its innovative use of AR through the 3DS camera, this feature is expected to make a comeback in the mobile version, promising an immersive experience as you hunt for the ethereal Denpa Men in the real world.
For those unfamiliar, The Denpa Men series has carved out a niche on Nintendo platforms, offering players a chance to explore dungeons and battle foes with their collected radio wave-dwelling creatures. While not as mainstream as Mario or Zelda, the franchise has a dedicated following. Developer Genius Sonority, no stranger to mobile platforms, previously brought the original New Denpa Men to mobile before its Switch rerelease, which was a global launch unlike the Japan-exclusive original.
With Nintendo's recent focus on expanding its mobile offerings, the return of The New Denpa Men to smartphones could signal a broader strategy. Given the global success of the Switch version, there's a hopeful buzz about the possibility of a worldwide release for this mobile iteration. It's an exciting time for fans and newcomers alike, as we might soon see this rerelease of a remastered mobile game hit the global stage.
