In this episode of VGBS, Jeff is joined by Xander Skullion, co-host of The Indie-Credible Podcast, to BS about one of the hottest debates in gaming right now: whether the Nintendo Switch 2 is quietly on track to become the next Wii U. They break down Nintendo’s messaging, naming decisions, hardware expectations, and how confusion at launch can shape long-term success or failure. Drawing from years of collecting, publishing, and covering the indie gaming space, the conversation digs into what this means for new indie releases, physical preservation, and developer confidence. Along the way, Jeff and Xander connect the dots between past Nintendo missteps, the current indie scene, and why clear communication still matters more than raw specs.
