The New Denpa Men is out now on Android and iOS, bringing bizarre AR weirdness to mobile

The New Denpa Men are now available on iOS and Android! Catch these adorable creatures using your phone's camera, then pit them against enemies and bosses in exciting turn-based battles. Don't forget to check out the fun minigames too!

When discussing Nintendo's history, it's easy to point to great games that never quite achieved mainstream success. Often, this is because they strayed from the company's family-friendly image or were simply… unusual. Today's focus, The New Denpa Men, available now on iOS and Android, definitely falls into the latter category.

The New Denpa Men is a surprisingly accessible blend of AR creature catching and turn-based RPG. Imagine Pokémon Go meets Dragon Quest—a unique formula that surprisingly predates many similar mobile games. You'll catch the titular Denpa Men, using them in classic JRPG battles. Explore the world, fight enemies and bosses, and enjoy quirky minigames along the way, embracing the game's distinctive charm.

Beyond the Camera

The mobile version boasts new features, including event stages and the Voucher Collection mechanic. Best of all? Cross-compatibility! If you played The New Denpa Men on Nintendo Switch, you can transfer your save data.

This compelling package is available worldwide. If you missed it the first time, now's your chance to experience The New Denpa Men!
