Konami announced the availability of Frogger for the iPhone and iPod touch. The game can be found in the iTunes App Store. Frogger has been redesigned for the iPhone/iPod Touch to work with the multi-touch interface and the accelerometer.

In Frogger, players control a little frog as he tries to cross through traffic and make it to the other side of the road safely. In the higher levels there are more obstacles than just traffic to make your way through. Frogger is a classic and it makes sense to release it for the iPhone/iPod Touch. They both seem like a fitting platform for Frogger.

“We see the iPhone platform as an opportunity to showcase the legendary Konami brands in a truly unique fashion,” said Joe Morris, Vice President of Konami Mobile. “Konami is committed to providing players with games that leverage the latest technology. Fans of the best-selling Frogger franchise can now experience the title like never before, and we look forward to releasing more of our popular titles for the iPhone soon.”

Frogger will set you back $9.99.
