Launch September
3D Mario, my bet it's called Super Mario Kingdoms and includes a DK section as also a Yoshi Island.
A 'gimmick' game, possibly augmented reality using Pikmins.

October
Metroid Prime4, probably cross gen.
A Ubisoft game. I don't know what, but Ubisoft supports Nintendo platforms well.
Resident evil4 port, possibly Streetfighter6 port.

November
New Mario Party or any other kind of party game.
Pokomon handheld remakes as Switch game. If no backwards compatibility, then cross gen release

2025: Mario Kart, Zelda remake or remaster, Mario Sportsgame, Luigi Mansion4, Pokomon gen 11, Monster Hunter Wilds and a lot of other 3th party ports.

Don't forget Microsoft has a deal with Nintendo to bring Call of Duty to Nintendo consoles for the next 10 years. So October 2024 will have a Call of Duty release on the NG (what I call Nintendo's Next Gaming console).

So are you assuming that we will have Gen 10 pokémon in 2024? The Pokémon Company releases new generations in waves of 3 years. 
Only counting years for simplicity:
Red/Blue 1996
Gold/Silver 1999
Ruby/Saphire 2002
Diamond/Pearl 2006 (thought to be the last Pokémon game, which is why I think it took 4 years)
Black/White 2010 (I got no logical explanation why it took so long)
X/Y 2013
Sun/Moon 2016
Sword/Shield 2019
Scarlet/Violet 2022

Plus the Pokémon Company had a COO stating a possibility of taking their time to develop the next generations of games. So I assume that Gen 10 will be 4 year between Scarlet and Violet, giving us a Gen 10 release in 2026. But if they don't take their time and continue the 3 year schedule then yes 2025 will be Gen 10 (I assume you meant gen 10 and not 11).

3D Mario
Mario Kat 8 Super Deluxe with all dlc courses
Some sort of gimmick game to show off the new hardware similar to SnipperClipps or Arms.
Zelda Tears of the Kingdom with slight visual bump and 60fps

Hopefully Metroid Prime 4 is ready at launch or near launch.

Hmmm, I'm going to doubt this one unless Nintendo is comfortable waiting until 2027 or later for the next main Mario Kart, which is highly unlikely. 

If Nintendo launches 8 Super Deluxe and then launches the next main game (9 or 10 or whatever) a year to year and a half-later, it would probably hurt the sales of both titles. 

That's why it's almost 2024 and there's been no new mainline Mario Kart (unless Tour somehow is mainline) since 2014. Nintendo had to have realized that releasing a console follow-up to 8 Deluxe by now would have greatly reduced sales and would be far more expensive. 

I find Super Smash Bros. Ultimate DX way more likely than yet another version of MK8 because we've had no announcement yet of a new Smash and Ultimate released more recently than 8 Deluxe. It's some of those factors combined and Sakurai said recently that the next Smash still has to be figured out. This could mean...

1. Sakurai is outright lying and the next Smash is well into development

2. The next Smash is in early development

3. The next Smash is in super early concept/development

Keep in mind Sakurai knows people love the "Everyone Is Here!" aspect and knows it's not sustainable. What better reason to have Ultimate DX on the next-gen while we wait for Smash 6? It's pretty much guaranteed to sell 10 million and probably wouldn't hurt Smash 6 much. 

Mario Kart 8 Super Deluxe might not be happening considering the rumors (reliable-ish as rumors go) that the next game is in development and it will be the the most expensive game Nintendo will be developing.

Sakurai has expressed interest in helping Nintendo anyway possible. Anything can happen when it comes to Sakurai :)
