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.
