The quirky creature-collecting RPG, The New Denpa Men, is making a comeback to mobile devices! Initially a 3DS hit and later a Switch title, this bizarre adventure is slated for an iOS and Android release on March 10th. This news, reported by Gematsu, suggests a potential global launch, a significant departure from the original Japan-only release.
The game, known for its innovative use of AR via the 3DS camera, will reportedly retain this feature in its mobile iteration. Players will once again collect Denpa Men—creatures inhabiting radio waves—from the real world using their device's camera, then battle them in dungeons.
While not a household name like Mario or Zelda, The New Denpa Men has enjoyed a surprising lifespan across various Nintendo platforms. Developer Genius Sonority previously released a mobile version before the Switch remaster, making this a rerelease of a rerelease! The possibility of a worldwide release this time around is exciting, especially given Nintendo's recent mobile expansion.
