KONAMI SHIPS FROGGER’S ADVENTURES 2 THE LOST WAND

Lovable Game Icon Appears on Nintendo Game Boy® Advance

REDWOOD CITY, CA – November 5, 2002 - Konami of America, Inc. announced today that Frogger’s Adventures 2 The Lost Wand for the Nintendo Game Boy® Advance has shipped to retail outlets nationwide. The sequel to the award-winning Frogger’s Adventures: Temple of the Frog, this game takes the unflappable Frogger on an all-new magical adventure that is perfect for gamers of all ages.

“The original Frogger arcade game is a true videogame classic,” says Erica Mason, Product Manager at Konami of America. “With Frogger’s Adventures 2 The Lost Wand, Konami has recreated that simplistic, yet addictive gameplay and enhanced it to further challenge Frogger fans.”

Mysterious mischief is afoot, and Frogger must help a wizard to correct the mayhem by collecting the five pieces of the broken Eternity Wand. The adventure takes players to five enchanted islands where they will find their wits and their thumbs challenged by different bosses as well as an array of various tasks.

In order to gather all the missing pieces of the wand and restore serenity to his homeland, Frogger must contend with over 20 enemies bent on thwarting his progress. To help him beat the odds, players must first master several new abilities, including “a tongue grab” used to pick up items and grasp onto titles.

For the first time Frogger Game Boy® fans have a multiplayer option where they can compete head-to-head. This mode offers a range of mini games that enables up to four friends to play together, using only one Game Pak.

Frogger’s Adventures 2 The Lost Wand is rated E for Everyone and is available nationwide at an SRP of $29.99.

About Frogger

The original Frogger arcade game generated record-breaking success when Konami initially released it in the U.S. in 1981. The object of the game was to help a frog reach one of five lily pads in his swampy home by navigating him through a dangerous, traffic-filled road and across a river of floating logs and turtles. The simplistic yet addictive gameplay made Frogger one of the most recognizable icons in videogame history.
