1/3 of the games from your list won't have sequels on Switch 2 or will return but only as remasters Potato.
Don't forget that many of those games were ported over from Wii U, which will now be backwards compatible.
I think that because of the higher budgets the cut off number will be 2 million units.
So that means Metroid Dread makes the cut but no more Bayonetta and 1 Kirby game instead of 3.
Also for Smash Bros. I expect a 'deluxe' remaster with added DLC like Mario Kart 8 got and not a sequel.
Nintendo is expanding slowly but nothing indicates they have much bigger teams now.
I expect remaster patches to be trickled out through Nintendo Online for the fan favorites like the Xenoblade trilogy.
GameCube games, nice in theory but there aren't that many left that haven't been remastered on the 3rd party side or are frankly worth it on the Nintendo side.
I predict lots of games will release for Switch + Switch 2, like Pokemon Legends, Metroid Prime 4, Zelda Twilight Princess remaster and such for the next 2 years.
So overall I see the line-up from a 1st party perspective shaping up as:
50% cross-gen titles
25% remaster patches
25% exclusive Switch 2 releases
