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. Enjoy a variety of fun minigames along the way!

Nintendo has a history of releasing unique games that sometimes fly under the radar. Often, this is because they push boundaries beyond the typical family-friendly fare, or simply because they're… well, weird. The New Denpa Men, now available on iOS and Android, definitely falls into the latter category.

The New Denpa Men is a surprisingly accessible blend of augmented reality creature catching and classic turn-based RPG gameplay. Imagine a fusion of Pokémon Go and Dragon Quest – a unique formula that surprisingly predates the current mobile RPG boom. You'll explore the world, engage in battles against both standard enemies and challenging bosses, and participate in quirky minigames throughout your adventure.

Beyond the Camera

The mobile version of The New Denpa Men offers several enhancements, including new event stages and the Voucher Collection mechanic. Even better, it's cross-compatible! Existing players from the Nintendo Switch version can seamlessly transfer their save data.

This compelling package is now available worldwide. If you missed it on Switch, now's your chance to experience the quirky charm of The New Denpa Men!
