Konami Announces Frogger Returns
for Nintendo DSiWare
Konami’s First DSiWare Title
Leaps Onto Handhelds for an All-New Adventure This Spring
Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc.
today announced its first ever Nintendo DSiWare title, Frogger Returns. Based on
the highly successful WiiWare version, Frogger Returns will soon be delivering
the classic dodge-and-run gameplay fans remember and still love as a
downloadable game on Nintendo’s portable handheld platform.
"As Konami’s first foray into the
DSiWare space, we wanted to provide consumers with a fan favorite that would
have mass appeal across a broad audience," said Shinji Hirano, President of
Konami Digital Entertainment Inc., "With Frogger Returns, we are taking the
heart-pounding challenge of arcade Frogger, and giving it a new look for the
Nintendo DSi with colorful graphics, updated gameplay, new obstacles and much
more."
In Frogger Returns, players guide
Frogger out of the hectic commotion of city streets and back to the safety of
his home marsh. Staying true to its origins, Frogger Returns offers classic
gameplay with colorful 3D graphics, as well as a new perspective, all-new levels
and enemies. Game-changing power-ups add a fresh spin, while multiple gameplay
modes raise the stakes and give players the freedom to attack their top scores,
race against the clock, or simply get Frogger to his home pad.
Frogger Returns will be available
for download this Spring on Nintendo DSiWare. For more information, please visit
