Japanese developer Genius Sonority — best known for its work on various Pokémon spin-offs over the years — has revealed its next title, due out in the Japanese eShop next week.
Called Denpa Ningen RPG — or Electric Wave Person RPG, believe it or not — is an augmented reality RPG where you use the 3DS's cameras to reveal hidden flying folk, capturing them to assemble a team to tackle a giant demon king, of course.
Different denpa ningen have their unique statistics and elemental properties, so catching a varied group is the secret to success.
Here's one trailer but there are plenty more videos over at the official site.

That's interesting. Looks like a Pikman RPG.
Ummm... WTF?
that actually looks kinda cool
Looks dragon quest-esque. I like this.
Except for the Tingle outfits...
i like it
Looks veery Japanese.
Any chance of it coming to US/Europe?
I like the RPG part Would probably get it if it got released here.
...
I would get this if it were the other way around and we caught the monsters they’re fighting. Those look neat; the teletubby people just look creepy.
At first I read the article title as "Genius Sorority..." and was quite perplexed. Yup.
Dude, this is AWESOME!!! I cant wait for it to come... presuming that it will. Although the tickle suits are a little... out of place.
looks fun.
Since I can't read Japanese, I don't really understand the AR tie in. For now I'll just say, "Crack don't smoke itself!"
@warioswoods Me too! lol This seems...interesting. Perhaps a bit too odd for me.
Uhm.
@warioswoods Haha same here.
This looks kinda cool. The RPG part has some serious DQ vibes. o_O
This makes nnooo's Spirit Hunters Inc. look like trash. I wonder what happened to that game? Did they cancel it?
LordJumpMad must have had a part in this game if it's truly this mad, as the article title states.... D:
Wow, a lot going on in there. A cross between Invizimals, Pokemon, and Evolution (an old Dreamcast RPG). I like the binoculars look of the screen. I wonder if a Pokemon game could be made like this? Probably not a proper one, but an extension of Ranch or the Pokedex.
This looks friggin' ridiculous, but friggin' awesome. My only concern would be that without any sort of main character this will lag a bit plot-wise. I'm hoping the action isn't too repetetive and they can build a good story around it!
It would be a maybe if it you didn't play as teletubby lookalikes but as those are what you play as, I definitely won't be getting this if it gets a western release.
Not only DQ, but Earthbound too
....It scares me. lol
wanti it!
Hey, it's oolong!
The main character looks like Charlie Brown!
Looks wierd.. BUT AWESOME!
i think its safe to assume this wont be released outside japan
It would be a lot cooler if they looked simmilar to the monsters in the game, instead of deformed Mii's... But it still looks decently fun.
This is indeed....interesting. It looks fun but, the characters are very.....interesting. The characters should look less Tellytubby-Tingley.
The capture part was strange but that rpg part looks great
at first i thought the title was about the fan made "swapnote rpg"
but then i saw the vid and i was like "whaaaaat....?"
it looks ok to me
Looks just like dragon quest 9 gameplay
U.S. release please? Like a mix between Miis, pokemon, and skylanders
these characters remind me tingle from zelda!!!
if those things came in my house i go and i kill it
ALL OF MY JIGGIES! TAKE THEM!
If someone saw you in public just waving your 3DS around, they'd think you were crazy. This opinion would be strengthened if they saw that you were playing this game.
This is an awesome idea. I'd be surprised if the next Pokemon game didn't have a similar "hunt in the real world" AR feature...
I really hope this gets released here eventually.
It sure has my interest.
why does Japan get all the cool stuff and the US gets all the cookie cutter old hat crap re runs?
Hmmm ... I wish the capture part was more like Face Raiders. Doing something with the real world surroundings instead of just having them as a background.
The RPG part looks good though and may justify getting it if it ever comes to Eustralica.
I want it!!!
Looks nice!
This actually looks kinda fun !
Looks interesting. Could be fun!
Any news on a US or international release...it would be fun if a system update allowed us to purchase foreign games unavailable to us...like Sakura Samurai for Europe...or to that effect
this looks stupid -.-
I really want this game to be released in NA! Has there been any news on that? I know its quirky, but I'm hoping the strong sales figures are enough, especially with Pokemon Conquest being more of an unusual game for NA but still seeing release.
