ZEN 198 (Zenspath Entertainment Network Podcast) Nintendo Acquisition, PokePark KANTO, & more

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)"
