Overview
Description

Celebrate Frogger’s 30th anniversary with a fresh 3‑dimensional spin on the beloved street‑crossing formula. The game brings new graphics, inventive level twists, and friendly helpers to guide you across bustling roads and rivers on the Nintendo 3DS. Enjoy timeless run‑and‑dodge gameplay reimagined for modern handheld play, delivering quick, pick‑up‑and‑play sessions that still challenge your reflexes and timing.

Frogger returns to his roots in "Ancient Shadow," where the Firefly Swamp is under threat from the nefarious Dr. Wani. Players guide Frogger through seven distinct worlds, using new moves like double‑jump and tongue grab to overcome obstacles and restore order. The game also bundles the original 1981 Frogger arcade title, offers split‑screen multiplayer mini‑games for up to four players, and delivers over 30 levels of addictive hop‑and‑dodge gameplay.
