Review The Denpa Men: They Came By Wave (3DS eShop)
Radioheads
When we first started hearing the news about Denpa Ningen no RPG coming to the West, we didn't know what to expect.

About The Game
Radio waves are all around you.
However, what you might not know is that, at any and all times, mysterious little creatures float around near these waves.
They're called "Denpa" Men. You can't see them normally, but you can find them and catch them with your Nintendo 3DS.
This is a role-playing game in which you collect Denpa Men to form a party, and use this party to explore dungeons.
Each radio wave territory has its own completely unique Denpa Men, and no two of them are ever the same!
Their faces, bodies, and personalities are all different, and some of them even have special skills and strong points.
There's a practically infinite number of variations!
Sometimes, you'll even find Denpa Men who are exceptionally strong.
Try searching in lots of different places to form your own team of these wonderful tiny critters, and take them on an adventure to rescue a certain special someone from the clutches of the King of Evil!
Features
- Different types of "DENPA" MEN are location-specific
- There are many types of "DENPA" MEN, some are quite rare
- You can find and catch new characters anytime, anywhere
- Captured characters become characters in the game

So excited! I can't wait for one week from now!
Depending on the price I might pick this on up!
I'll buy. Can't wait!!!
@SkywardLink98
US$ 9,99. According to Nintendo official site.
Definitely buying this! Even at $10, this has been on my wishlist since the day Japan got it in February!
The sequel arrives in Japan September 26 for 1000 Yen
AMERICA GOT IT!? I DIDN'T!? Kill me.
The illusion men look awesome! I want this, there are so many great Japanese only eShop titles, Picross e, e2, that CN Picross, Denpa men, 2, Harmo Knight, Pokedex 3D Pro, Pokemon dream radar, and probably a few others that I want at least we're getting this, and Pokemon stuff soon. I also envy the huge amount of demos they have even if I never really DL demos
Played the demo today. It's a cute little RPG. Very basic turn based rpg elements but it does have a little charm. The $10 price is reasonable for this game for sure!
THAT DEMO IS EPIK!
bring it to europe !!!
i'm disturbed by that video.
AWESOME GAME very addicting and pepole seem to love catching denpa men ive tried it out on a couple pepole they say its worth buying
i was thinking about picking it up,but i have a choice between this and new super mario bros. 2.i just dont know which one to pick!
I played the demo and I like it! Its a cute and fun game. Looking forward to getting this
Just finished the demo and I love it! Definitely going to pick up that one the 27th. And they have some nice screen shots on their facebook page http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Denpa-Men/412066092164307?ref=ts
That's today! It'll be up today, dude!
I feel bad saying goodbye to Denpa men; anyone else?
Man...I wish i had a 3ds card...
got the demo, reminds me of face raiders
letting my 5 year old sister try it out... she is more into the hunting part than the rpg thing... shes really getting a kick out of the way they look.
when is britan release.... i want it.... I MEAN IT
video is ... disturbing. shudder
I already got it!
YAH I JUST GOT IT AND ITS FLIPPIN' AWESOME!!!!!!!!
I can't get the QR Codes to work on my 3DS, I have the game, and when I scan it says: "This is not a QR Code for Denpa Men." Any help?
i dont know because it does work.....usually.
I've bought this game but I've got to say, the creators were really lazy with making the enemies, I mean, they use the same mold of each enemy but just change the colours, names and attacks of each enemy. Besides that, the game is pure awesomeness.
Just got my Brand spanking new 3DS xl today as an early Birthday gift a little from each of my family members ( all older adults like myself at 61) My Hubby and the gang had pity on me ...LOL Im so happy I could just PLOTZ !! Thinking seriouly about Depa men ...but not sure !
I have it!!!!!! $11.46 in Canada
