All N64 Games #375: Frogger 2
Posted 11 Jan 2025 at 13:08 by Dean Jones
Unlike earlier N64 prototypes of games that released on PlayStation, this is not a final or near-final build, but rather a very early version. This Frogger plays just like the arcade version – move around avoiding obstacles that move across the screen. Here, you have to navigate the level to rescue frog babies (which aren’t tadpoles). When you collect one, you get sent to the start of the level, which is something they decided to change later in development.
The N64 prototype only consists of two short levels and a wonky recreation of the original Frogger arcade. The final game gained the subtitle “Swampy’s Revenge” and came out to middling reviews.
Poor
Should it be finished?
It was on PlayStation and Dreamcast, so you can see what the final result would have been like.
