Nintendo cult classic makes its comeback with new Switch free-to-play release
NINTENDO is bringing back a number of its popular series, and players can’t wait to dive back in.
Earlier this week, former Chibi-Robo developers revealed their new studio is developing a spiritual successor called Korobo.
Now it’s the turn of another cult classic Nintendo title to see its return, only this time it’s free.
The New Denpa Men is a free-to-play title that was just released on Nintendo Switch.
Denpa Men first released in 2012, with The Denpa Men: They Came By Wave developed by Genius Sonority, best known for Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness.
A game was released for the 3DS every year until 2014, when a few more entries were released for mobile.
However, these games are no longer available as the mobile games have been shut down, and the 3DS store is no longer available.
Similar to Pikmin, The Denpa Men series is about collecting mysterious creatures called Denpa Men and adding them to your team.
Each Denpa Man is unique, and you’ll create a party from your Denpa Men to go on an adventure.
The main game has RPG elements, so you will collect items and level up your party.
There are main maps as part of the story, as well as limited-time events that you can take part in.
As The New Denpa Men is free to play, absolutely anyone with a Nintendo Switch can try it out.
All you need to do is navigate to the eShop on your Nintendo Switch and look for the New Denpa Men’s store page.
Then you can click to download, and once installed you’re ready to play.
