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. A global release is a strong possibility, given Nintendo's recent mobile expansion.
According to Gematsu, the iOS and Android launch will include AR features, utilizing your device's camera, much like the original 3DS version. For those unfamiliar, The New Denpa Men is an AR-based RPG where players collect the titular Denpa Men—creatures inhabiting radio waves—from the real world and battle them in dungeons.
While not a household name like Mario or Zelda, the Denpa Men franchise has a history on Nintendo platforms. Developer Genius Sonority previously released the original New Denpa Men on mobile before its Switch remaster. This upcoming release, therefore, is a mobile re-release of a Switch remaster of a mobile game.
Interestingly, the original New Denpa Men was Japan-only. However, the Switch version had a global release, suggesting a similar worldwide launch for this new mobile iteration.
