As we get closer to the Switch 2’s first anniversary, more and more developers are starting to release updated versions of existing titles.<\/p>\n

With this in mind, Genius Sonority has today announced a Switch 2 version of its role-playing title The New Denpa Men<\/a>. After arriving on the Switch eShop in 2024, the Switch 2 version of this free-to-play will roll out next week on 6th April 2026<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This new version of the game will support cross-platform play with the existing versions on Switch and mobile devices. As for the improvements, players can look forward to “smoother visuals” thanks to a higher refresh rate, and there’ll be “enhanced visual quality” due to a higher resolution.<\/p>\n

As for the game content, the gameplay experience will be “identical to the Switch version”. Paid items from in-game purchases will also be shared between the Switch and Switch 2 versions when using the same Nintendo account.<\/p>\n

When The New Denpa Men launched on the Switch eShop, we gave it six out of ten stars calling it a goofy RPG with “the usual F2P irritations”.<\/p>\n

“The New Denpa Men is pretty firmly in the middle of the pack when it comes to Switch’s freemium games. Simple, approachable gameplay makes it a great light JRPG for anyone looking for a basic introduction to the genre but, unsurprisingly, it scarcely holds a candle to classically designed games…And though the microtransactions and freemium elements don\u2019t get too<\/em> in the way of progressing the story, they are nonetheless a persistent annoyance that can drag the overall experience down.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
