"New Denpa Men Returns: Bizarre RPG Action on Mobile"

Get ready, mobile gamers, because the quirky and beloved RPG, The New Denpa Men, is making its way back to your smartphones! Originally a 3DS favorite, this unique creature-collecting game then jumped to the Nintendo Switch. Now, it's gearing up for another mobile release on March 10th, set to hit both iOS and Android devices. Given Nintendo's recent push into the mobile market, could this signal a global release on the horizon?

According to the detailed coverage by Gematsu, The New Denpa Men is bringing back its pioneering use of augmented reality (AR) via the 3DS camera, a feature that will be included in this new mobile version. If you're familiar with the series, you'll remember the original Denpa Men game, where players collected these radio wave-dwelling creatures from the real world and engaged them in dungeon battles.

The Denpa Men franchise might not have the same global recognition as Mario or Zelda, but it has certainly made its mark on various Nintendo platforms over the years. Developer Genius Sonority isn't new to the mobile scene either, having released the original version of New Denpa Men on mobile before its rerelease on the Switch.

This upcoming mobile release adds another layer to the game's journey—from 3DS to Switch and back to mobile again. While the initial New Denpa Men was exclusive to Japan, the Switch version saw a global launch, sparking hopes for a worldwide release of this new mobile iteration.
