Get ready, fans of quirky creature-collecting RPGs! The New Denpa Men, a favorite from the 3DS era that later graced the Nintendo Switch, is making its way back to mobile devices. Mark your calendars for March 10th, when you can dive into this surreal adventure on both iOS and Android platforms.
Originally, The Denpa Men series captured hearts with its innovative use of augmented reality (AR) on the 3DS, allowing players to gather the titular Denpa Men from their surroundings and engage them in dungeon battles. This AR feature is set to return in the new mobile release, promising an immersive experience that blends the real world with the fantastical.
While The Denpa Men may not have the mainstream recognition of franchises like Mario or Zelda, it has carved out a niche following across various Nintendo platforms. Developer Genius Sonority isn't new to the mobile scene either, having previously released the original version of New Denpa Men on mobile before its Switch rerelease.
The journey of The New Denpa Men from 3DS to Switch and now back to mobile might sound a bit convoluted, but it's a testament to the game's enduring appeal. The original mobile version was exclusive to Japan, but with the Switch rerelease going global, there's hope that this new mobile iteration will follow suit and reach a worldwide audience.
In light of Nintendo's recent push into the mobile market, the return of The New Denpa Men to smartphones feels like a natural progression.
