by Lillian May 16,2025

The quirky and beloved RPG, The New Denpa Men, is making a surprising return to mobile devices. Initially a hit on the Nintendo 3DS and later on the Switch, this unique creature-collecting game is set to relaunch on iOS and Android platforms on March 10th. The original game was known for its innovative use of AR through the 3DS camera, a feature that will reportedly be included in the upcoming mobile version.

For those unfamiliar, The Denpa Men series has carved out a niche in the gaming world with its AR-based gameplay. Players would collect the whimsical Denpa Men from the real world and engage in dungeon battles. While the franchise may not boast the mainstream appeal of Mario or Zelda, it has consistently found a home on various Nintendo platforms. Developer Genius Sonority is no stranger to mobile, having previously released the original version of New Denpa Men on smartphones before its Switch remaster.

This upcoming mobile release follows the pattern of the Switch version, which expanded from a Japan-only launch to a global release. This raises hopes for a worldwide rollout of the mobile version, aligning with Nintendo's recent efforts to expand their mobile gaming footprint.

As we anticipate the return of The New Denpa Men to mobile, it's worth noting that our coverage of the best Nintendo Switch RPGs continues to evolve. With the rumored arrival of the Switch Two, the line between portable consoles and mobile gaming might blur even further.
