ZEN 209 (Zenspath Entertainment Network Podcast) Pokémon, Bluepoint Games, & Xbox Leadership Change

Zenspath Entertainment Network Podcast Episode 209 is here! This week Jeremy, Stephen, & Chris share our impressions of the new Nintendo Switch Online Virtual Boy app with hands-on impressions of both the regular & cardboard versions, we talk about the "Pokémon Fire Red" & "Leaf Green" re-release "controversy", Sony announcing the closing of Bluepoint Games, Xbox leadership implodes with the leaving of Phil Spencer & Sarah Bond, the Speedrun, & more!

Our "Big Question" for this week is "What is a particular game from your past that you would be happy to see brought to modern systems JUST for online multiplayer (graphics stay basically the same)?"
