Title: digiBlast and Zodiac Listings Post by: KidA on February 22, 2013, 03:40:09 PM I've been following both the digiBlast and Zodiac since their respective onsets, and understandably, they remain as obscure to most people. I just wanted to point out that there are several games listed for both handhelds that are either unconfirmed, or were never released on a physical medium. Here are the lists I've amassed:
So for those who don't know, the ill-fated story behind the digiBlast is that it was geared to be an affordable alternative on par with the GBA. The problem was that it was developed by a newcomer to the game industry, Nikko of the Netherlands, and was released at a time when the DS and PSP had already established prominence. Somewhere along the line, Nikko busted and the rights to the digiBlast were picked up by the Italian company Giochi Preziosi. The Italians in turn released a few exclusive titles based on popular Italian cartoons, as well as a new line of "Crystal" digiBlasts that came in four transparent colors. digiBlast Confirmed Titles: Atari Classics/ SpongeBob (bundled w/ system) Atari Classics/ Winx (bundled w/ system) Crazy Jack Cuccioli Cerca Amici (Italian exclusive) DigiQuad Gold Miner Joe Gormiti: Arena (Italian exclusive) Gormiti: The Masters of the Gorm Island (Italian exclusive) Gormiti II (Italian exclusive) Pitfall: The Lost Expedition Rayman 3 (Has only popped up outside of Italy - Netherlands, Spain, Belgium, and Spain) Spider-Man: Mysterio’s Menace Superstar Chefs Wade Hixton’s Counter Punch ---------------------------------------------------------- Rumored/ Cancelled Titles: Activision Anthology Freddi Fish SparkBlast The Fast and the Furious & 2 Fast 2 Furious Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 4 Truckz X2: Wolverine’s Revenge Zodiac titles released on SD, with case and manual: Doom II Duke Nukem Mobile GTS Racing Challenge Spy Hunter Tiger Team: Apache vs Hind Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 Z Pak: Adventure Z Pak: Fun ------------------------------------------------------------------ "Zodiac-tuned" titles: (games playable on a variety of PalmOne PDAs, but enhanced for Zodiac) Madden NFL 2005 (CD-ROM; uploaded from PC) Warfare Incorporated All other games listed for the Zodiac in the database where either only available for download via the Tapwave website, or unreleased and leaked.

I ended up finding various region specific digiblast sites that had certain games listed that the other ones would not. Since I am typing from my phone again long story short the diginlast needs a complete overhaul and probably has no accurate entries as far as regions are concerned nevermind missing titles. Title: Re: digiBlast and Zodiac Listings Post by: KidA on February 23, 2013, 04:10:03 PM Yeah that's the same problem I came across. I know Nikko wen't down before all of the announced games were released, so I've stuck to watching international sale listings for the last eight years or so. I'm pretty sure all but the Italian exclusives are in the database, along with unreleased titles.
