Quick Look: Frogger: Hyper Arcade Edition

Hooray for a Monday Quick Look!

Sweet, didn't notice this one

Yeah FROGGER. Jump on them logs

Good god, that basically is a Daft Punk song.

HARDER

Love me some Frogger

Ya Frogger

whats up with the audio on this videos lately been super looooooooooooooooooooooooooow :\

Brad asked have you messed with the multi-player modes how are they without even taking a break between each of those questions to give Jeff a chance to answer the first question never mind the second question which I thought was downright rude and unsportsmanlike.

Frogger and Freeway. 2 great games about crossing roads.

Jesus that menu music is Harder Better Faster Stronger.

Contra mode was all kinds of bizarre...

Harder, Better, Frogger, Stronger.

This is crazy.

Also, is it me, or are GB videos getting quieter and quieter over time? I posted concerns about it before, but now most videos I have to go to 85% max volume on my receiver to be able to make out what they were saying, compared to stuff from last year where I can go to 60%(which is still way quiet compared to all other video).

Play the Olympics game for TNT. Don't listen to Brad.

Work it harder, make it better, do it faster, makes us stronger.

Edwin Birdsong all in the menu music

The hyper-frogs materialize in a flash similar to Futurama's intro.. I almost expected the theme song to follow.

Frogger is the earliest video game that I can remember playing. It kind of bums me out that I don't really like Frogger.

Definitely not just you

...I'm okay with this.

I do wish Ryan was there for that multiplayer match, though. I like hearing him yell about fever dreams.

I could barely hear this video.

why did the frog cross the road?

HOLES! I NEED HOLES!

I sort of really want the soundtrack for this game.

@Eaxis: To try to get to the Daft Punk concert

Man, how could they not have used Hypno Toad for this ...

ALL HAIL HYPNOTOAD!

We're looking into it.

@Jeff: Thanks for the heads up. This game still looks ridiculous. I only wish we could have seen the Castlevania set.

Soundtrack of the year

Man, fuck Jeff.

Frogger for the PS1 was the shit.

FUCK

You beat me.

Speaking of frogs eating other frogs when I was a kid I was catching frogs and putting them in a bin to be released later. I came in later to see all of the frogs missing except the one big one and saw frog legs sticking out of its mouth. That was my first experience with cannibalism.

Cola Bottle Baby - Edwin Birdsong :D

Why is there an Owl and a Duck in the Frogger font logo during the level select screen?

taking a page out of the Capcom naming conventions book I see..

The existence of this game makes me want to continue to cling onto the absurd hope that one day the world will see a proper Space Invaders Extreme 3, even if that's nothing more than a fool's errand. Alas.

This makes me want to go back and play some Pac-Man Championship Edition DX!

It's manageable on my desktop, but on my laptop even setting the speakers to 100% isn't enough for some videos.

Why not just...

?

Also no Metal Gear Frogger?

@lemonlateralus: Preach

For anyone interested, this is the Daft Punk song they are talking about (20 secs in):

You know what? I vote yes for Frogger TNT. lol :p

This makes me want to play some Frogger 2: Swampy's Revenge on GameBoy Color. Now THAT was a hell of a game.

NOT you.

Also, at first Jeff introduced this as if it was the first jazzed up release of Frogger. Don't we all wish? Wonder who keeps buying these horrible Frogger releases.

I never really thought about it but frogger is kind of a boring, tedious game. Compared to something like pacman anyway.

Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

I can admit, though, this game probably has little to no appeal for anyone outside of a particular crowd of insane retro game fanboys.

I would kill for another Nuts and Bolts TNT. That was, by far, the best TNT.
