Is the Switch 2 the next Wii U? | VGBS Gaming Podcast

<p>In this episode of <strong>VGBS</strong>, 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 <strong>indie gaming</strong> space, the conversation digs into what this means for <strong>new indie releases</strong>, physical preservation, and developer confidence. Along the way, Jeff and Xander connect the dots between past Nintendo missteps, the current <strong>indie scene</strong>, and why clear communication still matters more than raw specs. As always, expect honest takes, historical context, and community-driven recommendations without the corporate spin.</p>
