The New Denpa Men is coming (back) to iOS and Android, bringing bizarre RPG action to mobile

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, launching on iOS and Android. The original game pioneered augmented reality (AR) using the 3DS camera, a feature reportedly returning in this new release.

For those unfamiliar, The Denpa Men series is an AR-based RPG where players collect the titular Denpa Men—creatures dwelling in radio waves—from the real world and battle them in dungeons. While not a household name like Mario or Zelda, the series has enjoyed multiple appearances on Nintendo platforms. This isn't Genius Sonority's first mobile foray either; they previously released the original New Denpa Men on mobile before its Switch remaster.

So, get ready for a mobile rerelease of a game remastered for the Switch—a bit meta, we know! Interestingly, while the original New Denpa Men was Japan-exclusive, the Switch version had a global release, raising hopes for a worldwide launch of this mobile iteration.
