[edit] Projects

A GameCube project originally titled as GameZero (although the title was dropped when it was discovered that the name conflicted with a pre-existing gaming review magazine) was once in development, though this is considered to no longer be the case. The project was mentioned briefly on the company's website but has not been discussed since its removal from the site and subsequent notice in interviews that the name had been dropped from the project.

Zoonami also announced a prototype of the one-button music game Funkydilla but were unable to find a publisher for the game. [1]

In October 2006 Eidos announced Zendoku, a Sudoku-based game developed by Zoonami for the Nintendo DS and PlayStation Portable. Zendoku was released in the United States on June 12, 2007, and was released in Europe on April 20, 2007.

Zoonami has posted a job listing for development on Nintendo's Wii console, what projects the developer is planning for the Wii is unknown.

Zoonami has recently announced and released it's second game, Go! Puzzle for the PlayStation 3's downloadable service. Go! Puzzle's mini games and characters were designed by Zoonami, but the actual development was done by Cohort Studios.
