Japan comes up with some weird, awesome things, and this is one of them. Denpa Ningen is an augmented reality 3DS title that has you hunting for adorable little dudes called Denpa Ningen. There will be RPG style battles and heroics. It should also be noted that the group responsible for this title is Genius Sonority. Their staff has done work on the Dragon Quest and Pokémongames, so if this 3DS game makes you think of those, that's why.
Denpa Ningen looks like a fun title, and there is a demo out now, too bad it is only releasing in Japan for now, but hopefully, if it does well, we'll see it on the eShop here. If you can get the Japanese game, it comes out February 8th.
This actually looks really cool. AR catchem-up + dragon quest (from what I've seen of the game elswhere in screenshots.)
What's more, it's going from being announced to being released in just over a week, which is also pretty cool in its own way.
If only I had a Japanese 3ds... and matching eshop points...
The thing I like about Nintendo is that a couple of times a year they surprise me with something that makes me say "what the hell is this?" They've been doing it alot more often recently, I love it when they get weird. I'm really liking the eShop it seems like a great place for all those offbeat Nintendo ideas that wouldn't be able to survive as retail games.
