Win a toy competition and be granted one wish. No really, that's the plot.

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
