Unless they plan on having the first year or two of Switch 2 games be cross-gen, then not very long. Nintendo has generally not supported their consoles long after replacing them with the NES & SNES being the only ones to have a few notable Nintendo titles after they were replaced. Meanwhile, the N64 and Wii didn't get anything after their successors were released. The last first-party games the GameCube and Wii U got were cross-gen Zelda games. The Game Boy had Pokemon Crystal released very shortly after the GBA was released. The DS had Pokemon Conquest and Pokemon Black 2 & White 2 released for it after the 3DS came out. The GBA had Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team and Mother 3 (the latter being Japan-exclusive). The 3DS did have a fair amount of support after the Switch came out, but the Switch was only a kinda-sorta "yes, but not really" replacement for the 3DS, and was a more directly replacement for the Wii U.
Given this track record, we might at best get one or two notable Switch games released after the Switch 2 comes out, again assuming Nintendo doesn't do what Sony & MS did with the PS5 & XBS and have a bunch of cross-gen games early in its life.
