Itโs another one of those Friday XBLA updates, and if youโre in the mood for a brand new Frogger experience, Frogger: Hyper Arcade Edition may be for you. Itโs kinda like Pac-Man: CE, but with Frogger and other classic Konami 8-bit game references.
Read on for the details.
Frogger: Hyper Arcade Edition (800 Microsoft Points)
Frogger?s coin-op thrills are back and better than ever! Jump into the action with classic and brand-new game modes that expand on Froggerโs classic run-and-dodge gameplay. Customize your game board with different skins, from the modern neon style of HYPER ARCADE to the 8-bit sprites from Castlevania and even CONTRA! Throw down against friends or the CPU in up to 4 player matches to find out whoโs really the top frog!
Finally, after countless throwaway remakes of Frogger, we finally get one that counts. Obviously inspired by Pac-Man Championship Edition, Frogger: Hyper Arcade Edition looks to up the ante with score based, competitive Frogger action.
This game of Frogger isn?t going to win over anyone who isn?t a fan or maybe too young to really ?get it?, but for old fogies like myself, Hyper Arcade Edition is a new and ?ribbeting? challenge that will more than satisfy fans of the series without tainting their memories.
There's quite a few new pieces of content this week on the various Nintendo download services from Johnny Kung Fu for the 3DS on the eShop and a Big Time Rush in 3D video, to THE KING OF FIGHTERS ?96 for the Wii Virtual Console and Frogger: Hyper Arcade Edition WiiWare.
