After many failed attempts to bring Frogger back, Konami finally decides to just copy Namco's popular Pac-Man CE/DX games:

Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH today announced the return of its veteran Frogger character, with Frogger: Hyper Arcade Edition hopping on to PlayStation®Network for PlayStation®3, Xbox LIVE® Arcade for Xbox 360® and WiiWare™ for Wii™ in the Spring, 2012.

The classic coin-op’s mix of skill and timing returns in its most challenging form yet, as Frogger: Hyper Arcade Edition updates the core mechanics, but adds a wealth of new content and ideas. With the game currently celebrating 30 years of car-dodging, log-jumping, and road-traversing, players can jump into the action with classic and brand-new game modes including Tile Capture, Battle Royale, Freak Out and more that expand the challenge of Frogger's style of run-and-dodge gameplay.

Frogger: Hyper Arcade Edition also allows users to customise their game experience through 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!

Frogger: Hyper Arcade Edition will be released via PlayStation®Network, Xbox LIVE® Arcade and WiiWare™ in Spring 2012.

Spoiler

This was just announced for release next week on the PlayStation Blogcast, which is more of an acknowledgement of its existence than Konami has given it since the original announcement above.

Sounds like a good plan to me. I got that Pac Man game for Free off of PSN and I thought it would be sucksville, but I played it and it is off the hook.
