I wonder if an August-September ish launch could be in play with dev kits being out, if we're finding out about these kits in July, but had a leak in June already (Metroid Dread leaker) saying kits were out in Spain then, who knows.

For most 3rd parties their content is going to be initially ports of existing games, and given the Switch 2 will be much more powerful than the current Switch ... like a year+ to port titles like a Street Fighter 6 or Final Fantasy VII Remake (games that have PS4 versions either) is a generous amount of time. Those could probably be ported in like 8-9 months maybe less, remember these are games that run on the PS4 and also mobile Nvidia laptop GPUs, the Switch 2 is likely more advanced the the PS4 just due to a much more modern architecture that will more akin to the PS5 in that respect (Nvidia Ampere family of chips) even if it doesn't have the same raw power of a PS5.

As always it will come down to whether or not Nintendo's own internal software is ready, but if they can manage it I could see something like a September launch. 

Of this year? No way. Of 2024, sure.
