Konami Ships My Frogger Toy Trials to Retail

Celebrate The 25th Silver Jubilee Anniversary
Of Gaming’s Most Beloved Icon With A Brand New Action/Adventure Title For The
Nintendo DS

Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc., today
announced that My Frogger Toy Trials for the Nintendo DS has shipped to retail
stores throughout North America. For the first time in the history of the
franchise, Frogger will be paired with a new partner named the Hero, as the two
playable characters try to win a toy pet competition that will grant them one
wish which will make all their dreams come true. My Frogger Toy Trials brings
the classic “Hop ‘N Dodge” gameplay into the new millennium with innovative
mini-games that fully utilize the Nintendo DS touch-screen and microphone.
Control the Hero in the game’s adventure map and use Frogger to solve puzzles
and take part in the mini-games, as players hop higher and dodge faster than
ever before. Players can collect more than 20 different costumes to obtain power
ups such as super speed and sticking ability, or compete head-to-head wirelessly
with up to four friends using the Nintendo DS Download Play.

In My Frogger Toy Trials, a company named Tobi
Inc. has developed a way to transform a child’s drawing of his or her ideal pet
into a real toy pet with a will of its own. The newly created pets are then
entered into a competition of mini-games to crown the best pet ever. Deciding to
take part in this exciting contest, Frogger and the Hero must rush to submit
their idea before time runs out!

Originally launched in 1981, Frogger is one of
the most universally adored characters in video game history. The objective of
the original Frogger game was to scoot a friendly frog across a busy five-lane
highway and over a perilous river to peaceful lily pads. The simple, yet
addictive "Hop ‘N Dodge" gameplay made Frogger accessible to players of all
skill levels, allowing it to quickly develop an immense fan base and become an
instant success. With over 20 million games sold worldwide, Frogger continues to
capture the hearts of gamers everywhere.

My Frogger Toy Trials is rated “E” for everyone
by the ESRB and has a suggested retail price of $29.99. For more information on
