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

The quirky and beloved RPG, *The New Denpa Men*, is making its way back to mobile devices. Originally a hit on the Nintendo 3DS, this unique creature-collecting game later transitioned to the Nintendo Switch. Now, it's poised for a return to smartphones, sparking excitement about the possibility of a global release.

With Nintendo's recent focus on expanding into the mobile market, it was only a matter of time before some of their Switch exclusives found their way to our pockets. While *The New Denpa Men* might not have been on everyone's bingo card, Gematsu reports that the game is indeed set to launch on iOS and Android on March 10th. The original game was notable for its innovative use of AR through the 3DS camera, a feature that will reportedly make a comeback in this mobile iteration.

Veterans of the 3DS scene might remember *The Denpa Men* as an early AR-based RPG where players captured the titular Denpa Men from the real world, using them to navigate dungeons and battle foes. The franchise, while not as mainstream as Mario or Zelda, has carved out a niche for itself on various Nintendo platforms over the years.

While the initial mobile release of *New Denpa Men* was exclusive to Japan, the Switch version enjoyed a global launch. This precedent gives fans hope that the upcoming mobile version might also see a worldwide release, opening up the game to a broader audience.
