The New Denpa Men is returning to mobile devices! This quirky creature-collecting RPG, a 3DS favorite that later graced the Nintendo Switch, is set for a mobile comeback on March 10th. The iOS and Android release will reportedly include AR features, echoing the original 3DS version's innovative use of the system's camera.
For those unfamiliar, The Denpa Men is an AR-based RPG where players collect the titular Denpa Men—creatures inhabiting radio waves—from the real world, then battle them in dungeons. While not a household name like Mario or Zelda, the franchise boasts a history on Nintendo platforms. This isn't Genius Sonority's first mobile foray either; they previously released The New Denpa Men on mobile before its Switch remaster.
So, get ready for a mobile rerelease of a mobile game remastered for the Switch! While the original New Denpa Men was Japan-only, the Switch version enjoyed a global release, raising hopes for a worldwide launch of this mobile iteration.
