KONAMI SHIPS MY FROGGER TOY TRIALS
TO RETAIL STORES NATIONWIDE
Celebrate The 25th Silver Jubilee Anniversary Of Gaming's Most Beloved Icon
With A Brand New Action/Adventure Title For The Nintendo DS
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. November 7, 2006 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 game¹s 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 child¹s 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 the game, please
