The New Denpa Men is out now on Android and iOS, bringing bizarre AR weirdness to mobile

The New Denpa Men, a quirky blend of AR creature catching and turn-based RPG, is now available on iOS and Android! Catch these adorable creatures using your phone's camera, then pit them against enemies and bosses in classic JRPG battles. Enjoy unique minigames and explore the game's wonderfully weird world.

When discussing Nintendo's library, it's easy to point to great games that never quite achieved mainstream success. Often, this is due to a departure from family-friendly themes, or simply because the game was… unusual. The New Denpa Men, now available on mobile, falls squarely into the latter category.

This bizarre-looking, yet surprisingly accessible game combines elements of Pokémon Go and Dragon Quest, creating a unique mobile experience that's a fascinating precursor to the genre's current mobile dominance. Explore the world, engage in turn-based combat against regular enemies and challenging bosses, and participate in quirky minigames.

More Than Just Camera Fun

The mobile version boasts new features including additional event stages and the Voucher Collection mechanic. Even better, it offers cross-compatibility, allowing players who previously enjoyed The New Denpa Men on Nintendo Switch to transfer their save data.

This compelling package is available worldwide, making it the perfect time for those who missed it initially to dive in.
