Get ready, mobile gamers! The quirky and beloved RPG, The New Denpa Men, is making a triumphant return to smartphones. Initially a hit on the Nintendo 3DS, this unique creature-collecting game then found a new home on the Nintendo Switch. Now, it's set to charm players once again on iOS and Android devices, with a launch date set for March 10th.
For those unfamiliar, The New Denpa Men is an AR-based RPG that lets you capture the whimsical Denpa Men from your surroundings using your device's camera. The game's original version was a trailblazer in the use of augmented reality, a feature that will reportedly make a comeback in this mobile iteration. It's this innovative approach that made The Denpa Men series a cult favorite among Nintendo fans.
The Denpa Men franchise has had a storied history on Nintendo platforms, and developer Genius Sonority is no stranger to mobile gaming either. They previously brought the original version of New Denpa Men to mobile before its remaster on the Switch. Now, with this rerelease, fans might finally see a global launch, following the Switch version's worldwide availability.
Given Nintendo's recent push into mobile gaming, it's not surprising to see titles like The New Denpa Men making the leap from console to smartphones. This move could pave the way for more Switch exclusives to reach a broader audience on mobile devices.
