The beloved and quirky RPG series, The New Denpa Men, is making a surprising return to mobile devices. Initially a hit on the Nintendo 3DS, this unique creature-collecting game later found its way to the Nintendo Switch. Now, fans can look forward to its release on iOS and Android platforms on March 10th, as reported by Gematsu, a reliable source for Japanese game launches.
The New Denpa Men was one of the early adopters of augmented reality (AR) technology on the 3DS, allowing players to capture the titular Denpa Men using the device's camera. This innovative feature is set to make a comeback in the mobile version, promising an engaging experience for new and returning players alike.
The Denpa Men franchise, although not as mainstream as Mario or Zelda, has carved out a niche for itself across various Nintendo platforms. Developer Genius Sonority is no stranger to mobile gaming, having previously released the original version of The New Denpa Men on mobile before its remaster on the Switch.
This upcoming mobile release could signal a global launch, considering the Switch version broke the Japan-exclusive barrier of the original mobile game. As Nintendo continues to expand its presence on mobile platforms, the rerelease of The New Denpa Men on iOS and Android could be a sign of more Switch exclusives making the jump to smartphones.
