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

The beloved and quirky creature-collecting RPG, *The New Denpa Men*, is making its way back to mobile devices. Originally a fan favorite on the Nintendo 3DS, it later found a home on the Nintendo Switch. Now, it's gearing up for a return to iOS and Android platforms on March 10th. Given Nintendo's recent focus on expanding their mobile gaming portfolio, this move isn't entirely surprising, yet it's fascinating to see such an offbeat title like *The New Denpa Men* join the mobile scene once again.

Gematsu, a go-to source for detailed coverage of Japanese game launches, has confirmed this exciting news. Fans of the series will be thrilled to know that the game will retain its innovative use of augmented reality (AR), a feature that was initially introduced through the 3DS camera and will be included in this new mobile release.

For those unfamiliar with the franchise, *The Denpa Men* series started on the 3DS, allowing players to collect the titular Denpa Men from their surroundings using AR technology. These creatures could then be used to explore dungeons and battle enemies. The series has had a notable presence on various Nintendo platforms over the years, and this isn't the first time developer Genius Sonority has explored mobile platforms, having previously released the original *New Denpa Men* on mobile before its Switch remaster.

While the original mobile version of *New Denpa Men* was exclusive to Japan, the Switch rerelease expanded globally, sparking hope among fans for a worldwide mobile launch this time around. As we await further details on the potential for a global release, it's an exciting time for fans of this unique RPG.
