Retro video game character Frogger is set for a return in Frogger: Hyper Arcade Edition, coming to Xbox LIVE Arcade, PSN, and WiiWare in spring 2012.

The classic game’s mix of skill and timing returns in what Konami claims is its most challenging form yet, offering updated core mechanics and a wealth of new content and ideas.

Frogger will offer a mix of new and classic game modes including Tile Capture, Battle Royale, Freak Out and more that expand the challenge.

Players will also be able to customise their game experience using a variety of different skins, from the modern neon style of Hyper Arcade to the 8-bit sprites from the original Frogger, the classic Castlevania titles, and even Contra.

Competitive types can also compete against friends or the CPU in up to four-player matches to find out who is top frog.
