Genius Sonority interested in Denpa Men 3 localization, new entry would change the game style
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 2 Comments
In August, Genius Sonority released the third Denpa Men title on the Japanese 3DS eShop. We haven’t heard much about a western launch, but president Manabu Yamana tells us that the company is interested in bringing the game out overseas.
Yamana said in a soon to be published interview:
Yes, if it is possible, I’d like to release The Denpa Men 3 in North America and Europe.
We’ve seen three Denpa Men titles in a relatively short timespan – a trio of games in less than two years. Genius Sonority may want to continue the series, but if the studio does so, expect a change in game style.
If there is to be another continuation of The Denpa Men series, I would like to change the game style thoroughly as the first three titles of The Denpa Men series were of the same format and style.
