THE "DENPA" MEN is Genius Sonority's go at the monster-catching genre, after developing Pokémon spin-off games funnily enough.

With it's innovative AR camera feature, the game was pretty successful, especially in Japan, and earned itself 3 sequels on the 3DS, a sequel on mobile, and finally, a sequel on the Nintendo Switch.

Some of the possible heroes' names are different between regions.

Denpa Man Skin Tones

The skin tone table was changed around from the Japanese releases.

Text to Speech

In the Japanese version, every Denpa Man speaks. Your hero does get spoken dialogue in the US and European versions of later games, but they are stored as streamed audio in the games' files instead of being read out in real time.

Language Options

The European version has a language selection. You can select between English, French, and German. Notably, this is the only game in the series to be multi-language; later European releases would only be playable in English.

Internal Name

The game's internal name is Honolulu.
