The quirky and beloved RPG, The New Denpa Men, is making a triumphant return to mobile devices. Originally a fan-favorite on the Nintendo 3DS, this unique creature-collecting game later found its way to the Nintendo Switch. Now, it's set to captivate mobile gamers once again, with a release scheduled for iOS and Android on March 10th. Given Nintendo's recent focus on expanding its mobile gaming portfolio, this move seems timely, though The New Denpa Men's inclusion might come as a surprise to many.
According to detailed reports from Gematsu, a go-to source for Japanese game launches, The New Denpa Men will retain its innovative use of augmented reality (AR), a feature that was a hallmark of the original 3DS version. Players will once again be able to collect the whimsical Denpa Men from their surroundings, using their device's camera to bring these radio wave-dwelling creatures into the game's world, where they can be used to explore dungeons and battle foes.
The Denpa Men series, while not as mainstream as Mario or Zelda, has carved out a niche for itself on various Nintendo platforms over the years. Developer Genius Sonority is no stranger to mobile gaming, having previously released the original version of New Denpa Men on mobile before its remaster on the Switch. This upcoming mobile release adds another layer to the game's journey, which might seem a bit convoluted but is exciting nonetheless.
While the initial mobile version of New Denpa Men was exclusive to Japan, the Switch rerelease expanded to a global audience. This precedent raises hopes for a worldwide launch of the new mobile version, potentially bringing the charm of The Denpa Men to a broader player base.
As we keep an eye on this development, it's worth noting that our coverage of the best Nintendo Switch RPGs continues to evolve. With the anticipated arrival of the Switch Two, the future of portable gaming looks bright, and we'll be here to cover how it intersects with the mobile gaming landscape.
