What will that game's much-anticipated (by me, at least) sequel be called, you ask? The Denpa Men 2: Beyond the Waves, according to this IGN.com article.
Does this mean that developer and publisher Genius Sonority has decided to shy away from using all-caps and quotation marks? I'm not sure yet, but I kind of hope that isn't the case as I enjoyed typographically shouting THE "DENPA" MEN at the top of my lungs every once in a while.
Regardless, I'll be picking up Beyond the Waves the second it appears on the 3DS eShop--which, according to the aforementioned IGN article, should happen on or around May 2.
Of course, someone who claims to have worked on the localization popped up on GameFAQs (I know, I know) on Friday and suggested the date above is incorrect, so I guess we'll find out soon enough of that's the case or not.
Regardless, are any of you also planning to pick up The Denpa Men 2 (or THE "DENPA" MEN 2, as I prefer to call it)?

OMG! Yay!!!!!
ReplyDeleteNo kidding, right? I absolutely can't wait to play this game, as I LOVED the first one to death.
ReplyDeleteI was kind-of consumed with this game but got to one of the final points in it and gave up...kept loosing my clan and I couldn't handle them dying over and over. Still, I read all of your previews/reviews/takes on the first one so I can't wait to read your coverage of the new one.
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm sorry to hear that! Losing your favorite Denpa Men is tough, isn't it? :|
ReplyDeleteAnyway, thanks for reading all of my overly enthusiastic posts about the first game. I appreciate it! Also, I hope I can write just as many interesting posts about the second :)
Hm, well I'm pretty sure amazingu is Tim, so I'd take his word for it! He already told me to expect an announcement in the near future, so if he says the May 2 date is incorrect, I'd be inclined to believe he is right or the changed it last minute and didn't inform him, maybe?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, very excited for this! My only problem is I still haven't played the first one and I might be inclined it just jump into Denpa Men 2 instead >_<
Hey there, Anne! Even if the May 2 date is incorrect, it's pretty obvious they're preparing for its release--given the IGN interview and other recent interviews.
ReplyDeleteAs for you not playing the first one yet: it may be best for you to just wait for the sequel at this point, to be honest, as it sounds like it'll be a fuller, richer experience than the first.
Well, that would be amazing, if it were true! Let's keep our fingers crossed.
ReplyDeleteWell, it's coming out soon regardless, Justin, so don't feel the need to cross those fingers too tightly :)
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I'm sure it's coming out soon! I might follow your advice since I'm so strapped for game time these days...
ReplyDeleteThat's great, Anne! Oh, and guess what? It seems the folks at Genius Sonority have agreed to do a Q&A with me--thanks to good old Tim! I sent him my questions earlier today, and he's passing them along to the folks at Genius Sonority. How awesome is that?
ReplyDeleteOh, that's so exciting!! Exclusive Genius Sonority Q&A at The Gay Gamer! ;)
ReplyDeleteHa ha! Yes, let's hope. I'll certainly post it as soon as they get their responses back to me :)
