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

Given Nintendo's recent focus on expanding its mobile gaming portfolio, it's no surprise to see titles previously exclusive to the Switch making the leap to smartphones. However, the announcement of The New Denpa Men returning to mobile devices was unexpected, yet exciting news for fans of this unique RPG.

According to detailed reports from Gematsu, The New Denpa Men is scheduled to launch on iOS and Android on March 10th. This game, which originally gained popularity on the 3DS for its innovative use of augmented reality (AR) through the device's camera, is set to bring back this feature in its new mobile iteration.

For those unfamiliar, The Denpa Men series first captured the hearts of gamers as an early 3DS title. Players would use the 3DS camera to capture the quirky Denpa Men from their surroundings, using these creatures to explore dungeons and battle foes. The charm and novelty of the game have kept it in the hearts of many, leading to its rerelease on the Nintendo Switch.

Developer Genius Sonority is no stranger to mobile platforms, having previously released the original New Denpa Men on mobile before its Switch rerelease. This upcoming mobile version represents another step in the game's evolution, potentially broadening its reach beyond its initial Japanese audience.

While the original mobile release of New Denpa Men was exclusive to Japan, the Switch version saw a global launch, raising hopes that this new mobile iteration might also be available worldwide. This could introduce the unique world of The Denpa Men to a new generation of players across the globe.
