Publisher Merge Games has shared a brand new video of the rather delightful-looking Time on Frog Island as pre-orders go live on the US and UK Switch eShops — an exclusive trailer that includes a little sing-along with an overview of what the game is all about. Talk about a frog chorus, eh?
If you've somehow missed it, Time on Frog Island is a sandbox adventure where you'll need to barter with the locale frog folk in order to gain the necessary items to make your way back home. The new video gives you a great idea of the kinds of things involved, with a catchy ditty to boot.
If the game's blend of Zelda-style trading and Animal Crossing-style island wandering sounds familiar already, you might remember it from when the lovely Zion-from-Nintendo-Life took a look at the game earlier this year — you can check out that video at the bottom of the page.
Physical copies are available to pre-order now via the Signature Edition Games website at a price of £29.99 for the Switch, but will also be available from other major retailers.

Question : Are you excited to get stuck in on Frog Island?
Me : Yes, but I will pick the PS5 version. 😅
Sorry, guys. My PS5 games library need a lot of 3rd party multi console games.
I would be really excited for this but the art style on the frogs is really off-putting. They all look kinda gross and creepy instead of cute and welcoming.
I love the look of this game. The frogs are so weird and cute!
@Kermit1 I believe your opinion of this game is pertinent here.
Had my eye on this one. Gives me some A Short Hike vibes which was a pleasant experience. Gonna wait for reviews and maybe pick it up down the line during a sale!
Also, this song has the charm of old 90s kids shows intro themes which is awesome (Arthur, Rupert, Ducktales, Goof Troop etc.)! Hope more games dare to capture this magic.
… Wun can only hope.
@CANOEberry This game looks like a 10/10 to me. I'm sadly not getting this on launch... I'll be on vacation then
I’m so excited for this! It’s so cute, and frogs are such a random choice but I love it. Can’t wait.😆
