Yet so far, we've just heard them talking first half release for the year. There's a good possibility we'll a few announcements for scheduled for the second half.

Now, will those projects interest us or be the bigger projects that some wishes for ? Don't know. 

But assumption of a lack of software for any given year of the Switch life have mostly been premature since Nintendo decided to keep their cards closer to their chest.

Rumors say that Metroid Prime 4, 2 Pokémon games, and a Mario game are to be released in 2024. Take it with a grain of salt but that doesn't sound like a final year w/o a tentpole Nintendo release.

If it turns out there's unannounced major titles still to come that's great, it just feels awfully familiar atm to be in the late stage of a Nintendo system and have only smaller first party stuff to keep the lights on. Who knows though, I guess time will tell.

Plus there is a Pokemon Presents next week that could reveal a new Pokemon title for Switch (I doubt mainline but who knows) and the inevitable Nintendo Direct that announces a couple more titles (which could be more small-mid size releases).

FWIW, 2024 is not bad for an epilogue type of year for the Switch. Sure there’s no Twilight Princess or Xenoblade or any other grand adventure left on Switch, but a plethora of solid remakes/remasters and smaller games allows the Switch to not just drop like a rock as we anticipate the reveal and blowout of the Switch 2.

And I think it’s worth noting that Twilight Princess was cross-gen and actually released earlier on Wii while Xenoblade was a 2 year old localization that people had kick and scream to get in America.

Not a bad year just wish it wasn't so Mario focused. Like a Kirby or something would be a nice change bit I guess they really want to Captalize on the Mario Movie while it is still fresh

I think it’s also to keep the Mario hype so when they release the 3D Mario flagship release on the successor it’ll sell like hotcakes.

One day the other Nintendo franchises will grow to Mario/Pokémon/Zelda levels. :)

Also to consider is that the Switch still has MUCH more 3rd party support than Wii and WiiU had, even in its twilight year. For me, yesterday's Partner Showcase was a disappointment but I have to admit that there are still some potential quality titles to come (most are just not my taste) like Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time, Endless Ocean Luminous, Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed, Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble (even a Switch exclusive), Monster Hunter Stories, Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance, South Park: Snow Day!, Kingdom Come Deliverance - Royal Edition (a wait an see how good it will effectively run on Switch), Ender Magnolia: Bloom in the Mist, Grounded, The Pentinent, Unicorn Overlord, World of Goo 2, Contra: Operation Galuga (this is a BIG game for me). WOW! these are 14 games, a lot and there's more to come for the 2nd half of the year!
Switch's 2024 lineup looks fine to me so far (it definitely will not rank as one its finest years but that was to be expected).

Yeah the primary difference is the Switch actually has third party support; I was referring specifically to major first party titles in my posts.

There should hopefully be enough games from other devs to make the year passable, it's just a bit of a bummer that we might have to wait a long time for the next big Nintendo title.

But this has wandered off topic; sales wise no replacement this year means Switch should be around 150m by 2025. None of the games announced so far look to be huge sellers, but stuff like Princess Peach or Mario vs DK should still sell a couple million.
