My guess is GamesCom after Pikmin 4 is out just so Geoff is left empty handed on the Nintendo side. 
It'll be something like this maybe(?)
- late June: Pikmin 4 Direct
- August: Autumn Direct (Metroid Prime 4, additional remasters, RPG's, DLC's and weeb games)
- October: Fall Direct (Donkey Kong game for the holiday season, Detective Pikachu resurfaces, F-Zero (2024), Fire Emblem Holy War Remake (2024))
As for games, I'm sure Nintendo has more games slated for Switch based on their comments with regards to new hardware and how they want to keep players active on their Switch while they cook it but we also know that they are working on some cross gen stuff like a new Fire Emblem game. They said the early announcement for "Nintendo NX" was done because they were going to announce mobile games and they didn't want to leave the impression that they were leaving behind the console market.
I'd be surprised if we see anything of the new Switch this year. I don't expect it to ship until late 2024. If a Switch 2 was around the corner I think Square Enix and Marvelous would've kept their announcements for Daemon x Machina and Dragon Quest Monsters under wraps a bit longer. Content in between will be pretty much filler, like the F-Zero game rumored to be in development at Next Level Games and lots of fanservice stuff like Xenoblade Warriors or the rumored Xenosaga Remasters.
