==Trivia==
* Zenze was named "Project: Droid" during development, as a reference to the operating system "Android".
* While Zenze was in development, it actually didn't run Zen OS. Instead, it ran Android x86.
* Zenze used to be named Zen, but it was changed at last minute for unknown reasons.
* Zen Studios stated that "a successor to Zenze is not planned for the forseeable future"
* Zenze has a more economic version of it planned to be released alongside it, called Zen Tab.
*The Pro Controller was made for the only purpose of Wii U backwards compatibility, although Zen OS games can use the controller too.
* Zen Studios has released boxart templates for Zenze games.
** The first one is the preferred template for most games. It's called Ambient, and it only allows for the front of the boxart to be made.
** The second one allows for a more complete design, allowing the front, side and back of the boxart to be made. It was made by 7sk from VGBoxArt. It can be downloaded here.
