It will be interesting to say the least. Lets look at the facts...

Switch will be getting many A and AA 3rd party games as well as a plethora of indies for years to come. Also with Nintendo's core 1st party offering ramping up into full Swing, the Switch is not hurting for content. Even during a "weak" 2018, the Switch still has a lot to offer in terms of current gen console content.

Valkeria Chronicles 4
Wolfenstein 2
Ys 8
South Part the Fractured But Whole
Draginball Fighters
Octopath Traveler
FIFA19
NBA2k19
Fortnite
Warframe (?)

Are some of the most notable 3rd party titles we know of this far. That does not include some of the better WiiU ports that many missed out on such as...

Bayonetta 2
Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze
Hyrule Warriors Delux
Captain Toad

And 1st party offers like...

Kirby
Mario Tennis Aces
Mario Party
Smash Ultimate
Pokemon Lets Go
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 prequel (stand alone game, but included in season pass)

Throw in the indies and lesser known JRPs, and we have a line up that is not too shabby. I feel like we will get other high profile Switch ports as well all the way up to the PS5 launch in 2020 at least.  Panic Button and potentially other Switch port devs that could pop up will see to that without a doubt.

After that, we might see a Switch Pro that will get similar treatment with software from the newer gen being exclusive to it, similar to how NEW 3DS was handled.

There is also the possibility that this is when the 3DS is phased out, Switch takes its place as the new official handheld 3.5 years into its life (which would be decent especially considering it will still be far from dead this way) and we could see a new beefer home console from Nintendo for the next generation. With gained momentum and popularity from the Switch and revitalized brand recognition, this is very feasible, especially if they manage to keep this crossplay thing going with XBox.

I feel that either of these two scenarios will be what is going to happen when the time comes, and either way, Nintendo will continue to have a bright future ahead of it.
