Frogger Returns on WiiWare and PSN!

After the announcement of Excitebike World Rally, here's another classic game coming to WiiWare!

Konami shocked us by announcing a complete reboot of Frogger, reimagined by American McGee as a dark, twisted platformer about a frog on a quest for revenge.

Wait, they didn't do that. Instead, they announced Frogger Returns, a by-the-numbers follow-up to the arcade classic that has you taking the titular mascot from one side of the screen to the other. This modern take on the franchise adds a few power-ups (like the ability to reverse and stop time) and invincibility. Whoa, who knew frogs could do all that?

Frogger Returns promises to be "12 times the size of the original" and will also offer "local multiplayer," according to the official press release. No details on price were revealed, but Konami's aiming for a release on both WiiWare and PlayStation Network later this fall.

I loved frogger. If this is anything like the original, it will be a day one purchase! Thanks for the information!

Looks and sounds awesome! I loved the first 3D Frogger for PC (The one with the different types of levels).
