The quirky creature-collecting RPG, *The New Denpa Men*, is making a surprising return to mobile devices. Originally a hit on the Nintendo 3DS, and later remastered for the Switch, this unique game is set to hit iOS and Android on March 10th. Known for its pioneering use of AR via the 3DS camera, this feature is expected to make a comeback in the mobile version, adding an exciting layer of real-world interaction to the gameplay.
For those unfamiliar, *The Denpa Men* series lets players capture the titular Denpa Men—creatures that dwell in radio waves—using AR technology. These creatures are then used to battle enemies in dungeon settings, offering a blend of exploration and combat that has charmed fans since its early days on the 3DS.
While *The Denpa Men* may not have the mainstream appeal of franchises like Mario or Zelda, it has carved out a niche for itself on various Nintendo platforms. Developer Genius Sonority is no stranger to mobile, having previously released the original version of *New Denpa Men* on smartphones before its Switch rerelease.
The journey of *The New Denpa Men* from a Japan-exclusive title to a global release on the Switch hints at the possibility of a worldwide mobile launch this time around. Given Nintendo's recent focus on expanding its mobile presence, this move seems timely and strategic.
