Welcome to Episode 002 of the Zenspath Podcast!
This week I am joined again by Brent (N5omniac) and Keith, along with my good friend Patrick for the first time. We spend some time talking about the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), our memories about it as we were growing up, our favorite games, accessories, and more! We even talk a little about the NES Classic that Nintendo is releasing on November 11th, 2016.
Chibi-Robo has been a favorite of mine since it launched way back in 2006 for the Nintendo Gamecube here in North America. It was a giant open world game that had your exploring a seemingly "vast" area...that just happened to be a house and yard because of your super tiny size. The characters were interesting and surprisingly adult in their situations and problems. Sadly, none of that is found here in this game as Nintendo takes what may be their final run at this classic series. It is a generally fun game that is marred with conflicting choices, lackluster design, a few good ideas, and a lack of caring most Nintendo games receive.
Well, this Saturday I was able to be a guest on the Gamepolitics.com Super Podcast Action Committee episode 139 right along with the always great Andrew Eisen.
We talk about Bill Paxton playing Jack Thompson, cover some of their polls, discuss hate on the internet (remember kids: Hate with LOVE!), the DLC issue with Mortal Kombat X, and more!
Come take a look and let us know what you think of the show. You can find Andrew on Twitter at @AndrewEisen and of course over on Gamepolitics!
Wow, it's been awhile hasn't it. Come join Jeremy and Josh as we talk about what has been happening in the gaming world since we took a hiatus along with our special guest, Caleb Erskine, from the Nerd Edification podcast.
We talk about the announcement of the all female cast for a Ghostbusters reboot, the wave of repeats in games since most backwards compatibility is gone, our question of the show (remember to tell us what you think!), and more.
Take a listen below!
Also, take a listen at the beginning and end to hear our new theme song as done by friend of the show Tony Manfredonia (Composer for Ackk Studio's "Two Brothers"). Tell us (and him!) what you think of it.

Smash 4 (Wii U) is coming out soon on November 21st and the hype has been insane for this game. Events are being held and tournaments planned. Yet out of all of this an interesting occurrence arose of a 10 year old girl named Karissa who is now being called by some "Karissa the Destroyer" for her amazing Smash 4 gameplay ability.
And now she is being shown to be possibly a fake set up by Gamestop.
I was amazed at what I saw when the article first got my attention and I saw the immediate reactions where people claimed it could not be true. I honestly hoped that it wasn't and even mentioned the people who claimed my own experiences with gaming have been Nintendo "plants" for publicity. I even went so far as to comment about it stating as much. The video looks real (as seen below) but there are some pretty big bits of evidence that have come up showing this to be a Gamestop fake.
This is a fun little experiment, but I have always had a fondness for thought experiments in general for their ability to help you think outside the box. Stanford University Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Biology, Sebastian Alvarado walks through a few of these concepts while trying to explain how the Marvel Comics characters of Captain America and The Incredible Hulk could possibly exist and why they look how they do. So enjoy the videos below and feel free to leave some comments here, on Facebook.com/Zenspath, or hit us up on Twitter (@Zenspath). We love to hear what you think!

Here to stay....
Ok, Nintendo released an update for the Wii U recently (Version 5.1.0) in which two main things were added: the ability to move content from one Wii U to another and the ability to use the eShop with a Wii Remote, Pro Controller, or Classic Pro Controller now instead of JUST the GamePad as it had been since launch.
This of course has started up the people claiming this is the final "sign" that Nintendo will, and for some reason HAS TO, remove the Gamepad in order to properly run and sell the Wii U.
I'm here to point out how much "BS" that actually is. Let us begin.
First things first, this is NOT here to "disprove" or say that Arthur's views (found here) on this game are wrong or right in any way...it is just my oppinion and we both have our own on MANY things. Though I do expect this in a podcast eventually. Could be fun. Now onto the article!
Sega is coming out this year with the last of their exclusive titles for the Sonic franchise on the Wii U that will be connected with a new cartoon series as well. This has jarred some fans because of the difference in style they have gone with, but the game itself has been something I have greatly looked forward to. Here are some reasons why I feel this way personally.
Jeremy (myself), Arthur, Terence, and Josh were able to head over to Mobile on June 14th to get our hands on a preview for Super Smash Bros Wii U and 3DS which ended up being a mix of hillarious occurences for the trip as well as the gameplay.
I will add in what the others thought, but I personally found the game to be very quick, not Melee quick, but WAY faster than Brawl with a great feel for the controls. I played as Mega Man for the first match, and then Little Mac for the second and third ones. Not much was seen of the items, but the levels worked out well for different levels to fight on as well as environmental surprises that worked with their individual themes. The animations and attention to detail rival that of Nintendo's last game, Mario Kart 8, where everything seems to be ready for a nice close up look in replays and when you pause the game which is great to once again see.
Below are the two videos for the three rounds we played. The first video contains the first two rounds (the second of which came crashing down) while the last one has our third and final match together.
Let us know what you think of the game and what else you would like to see!
Welcome back to the show! Jeremy, Josh, Brent, Arthur, and newcomer Terence, come together for this episode to talk about what we think will be at E3 along with what we want to see for ourselves. We talk about Microsoft and their changing issues with Kinect, Sony and their need to keep the games coming, and if Nintendo can turn around their fortunes and deliver the E3 surprises (Star Fox) that they need to make.

We also have videos up on our YouTube page as well as our Twitch channel.

Hey all, sorry this is almost a week late but I wanted to share a guest apperance I was fortunate enough to be invited on for the GamePolitics.com Super Podcast Action Committee special 100th Episode Google HangOut! I talked with Hosts Andrew Eisen and E. Zachary Knight, along with Gamepolitics.com Managing Editor James Fudge, fellow writter Jason D'Aprile, and Geek Culture Writer Carol Pinchefsky.
We talked about Nintendo and their current policies with YouTube, the upcoming E3 2014 show, and more! I had a blast and hope to be involved with their show again soon. Also, I admitted my Stockholm Syndrome for Nintendo...I guess the first step is admitting the issue, and the next will be to ignore it and play more Mario Kart 8.
