The quirky and beloved RPG, The New Denpa Men, is set to make a triumphant return to mobile devices. Originally a favorite on the Nintendo 3DS, this unique creature-collecting game later transitioned to the Nintendo Switch. Now, fans can look forward to enjoying it on iOS and Android platforms starting March 10th, as reported by Gematsu, a source renowned for its detailed coverage of Japanese game launches.
The New Denpa Men stands out with its innovative use of augmented reality (AR) through the 3DS camera, a feature that's expected to be included in the upcoming mobile version. Players will once again have the opportunity to capture the whimsical Denpa Men from the real world and engage them in battles within various dungeons.
While The Denpa Men series may not boast the same mainstream appeal as Mario or Zelda, it has carved out a niche following across Nintendo platforms. Developer Genius Sonority isn't new to the mobile space either, having previously released the original New Denpa Men on mobile before its rerelease on the Switch.
This rerelease of a game that was remastered for the Switch and now returning to mobile might sound a bit convoluted. However, the transition from a Japan-exclusive title to a global release on the Switch hints at the potential for a worldwide mobile launch. This move aligns with Nintendo's recent efforts to expand its presence on mobile platforms.
