Given that there’s already been so manyDenpa Menreleases over the course of a 12 year time-span, it’s probably safe to assume that the series is far more popular in Japan than it is in West. Either that or someone at Nintendo just absolutely loves these little dudes.
Developer Genius Sonority are the minds behind this latest release, having also worked on the previous fiveDenpa Mentitles. As wholesome as the series looks, it is kind of a shame that it seems to be the developer’s ongoing focus considering their first two games werePokémon ColosseumandPokémon XD: Gale of Darkness.
THE NEW DENPA MENseems to be more akin to a remake than a completely original game however, as it’s actually a combined version of the two previous titlesNew Denpa Men’s RPGandDenpa Men’s RPG FREE.
Even though the game is available to download for free on the Nintendo Switch eShop regardless of if you have an active Nintendo Switch Online subscription or not, it does apparently require you to be online at all times for the game to even function.

It’s also launched in a less than ideal state, with many players criticising its poorly translated text and “microtransaction-heavy” gameplay.
Still, free is free so it’s hard to complain too much. The only thing you’re currently at risk of wasting is your time, so don’t let me dissuade you from giving it a go. I’m sure your backlog of currently un-played games isn’t too big, right?
