"New Denpa Men Returns: Bizarre RPG Action on iOS, Android"

Given Nintendo's recent push into the mobile gaming market, it was only a matter of time before some of their previously Switch-exclusive titles made the leap to smartphones. Surprisingly, the quirky and surreal RPG, The New Denpa Men, is the latest to make this transition.

According to Gematsu, a reliable source for Japanese game launches, The New Denpa Men is scheduled to hit iOS and Android on March 10th. The original game was notable for its pioneering use of AR technology via the 3DS camera, a feature that is expected to be included in this mobile version as well.

Many fans will recall The Denpa Men as one of the early 3DS titles, an AR-based RPG where players collected the titular Denpa Men from the real world and engaged them in battles within dungeon settings.
