Episode 198 of the Zenspath Entertainment Network Podcast is here! Jeremy & Chase talk about Tim Sweeny wanting Steam & other storefronts to stop identifying when AI is used for game development, "Let it Die: Inferno" is found to be using AI for development because of said AI tag on Steam, Nintendo creates "Nintendo Studios Singapore" after acquiring "Bandai Namco Singapore", we finally learn what the Metroid Prime 4 amiibo do (along with an amiibo discussion), The Pokémon Company announces "PokePark KANTO" for 2026, & more! Our "Big Question" for this week is "When a new console or graphics card comes out, what genre of game do you prefer to play to show off what it can do? (RPG, racing, platformer, puzzle, fighting, etc)" Check out the video version of the podcast over at www.youtube.com/zenspathcom, share it with friends, give us a thumbs up, & leave us a review if you enjoy the show to help us grow!

Anne from Pikapi Podcast drops by to discuss the music of PokePark 2: Wonders Beyond for the Wii. This sometimes-forgotten sequel delivers a fresh set of tunes, which have some interesting structural ties to the game. Afterwards, we move on to our feedback section, where we ponder whether the Japanese version of the second movie may have originally had a different credits song, and why having a backup plan is good idea. Finally, there's a Wonders Beyond game discussion after the outro. Links: Pikapi Podcast: http://pikapipodcast.blogspot.com/ Poke Casters Network: https://www.pokecastersnetwork.com/
In the first segment (1:22-3:54), I interview Vince Krekeler of Day 2 events, the company that runs many of the regional Pokemon tournaments in the middle of the US. I took this opportunity to talk with him about how things are going for the first full season back from the pandemic, and gave him an opportunity to talk about some of the other events they run. The second segment (4:56-45:45) is a discussion of the music of PokePark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure. Anne from Pikapi Podcast helps me cover the soundtrack of this final fourth generation side game. As you might expect, PokePark's array of environments meant that we got to discuss a wide range of tunes. If you want to know what we thought of the game itself, we examine that after the outro.

Pokémon games are great aren't they? Today I talk about some of the spin off games and my favorite of the bunch: PokePark Wii: Pikachus Adventure
With a much shorter episode than usual, (thanks to past Lillie for recording such a long episode!) and a new game streamed live in the past week, it's time to make a bit of a break and talk about a beloved nostalgia game during the wii era, Pokepark Wii.

Zach complains about a game conceived just for him. The culprit: crummy gameplay.
