So, now that we've had the Direct, it turns out Nintendo was indeed holding multiple new Switch games for the second half of 2024.
It never made sense that the second half would be empty, they would've held onto Princess Peach Showtime and the Paper Mario remake if it was.

Less than 9 and a half months now, and probably significantly less, til we see Switch 2. And thankfully, this time we have plenty to play in the meantime.

Hopefully significantly less one would think. Should be around October if they are following the same cycle as the Switch 1. 

If they don't have anything to show on Switch 2 this year, then I would begin to get worried that they are having significant problems adjusting to the hardware leap the Switch 2 offers, moreso than expected. 

I suspect they may hold off on showing the successor this year just so they can squeeze one more lucrative holiday season out of the current Switch.

I don't think that's necessarily cause for concern though; while it's certainly possible the leap in complexity is proving difficult, it could also just be that prolonged marketing cycles aren't really necessary in this day and age. They could easily unveil Switch 2 in January and roll it out in March-May.
