Both IGN and PCMag are citing the same translation coming from VGC. Reading the original article, it reads a bit different to me than what they are saying.

“We are still working on software for the Switch for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025,” Furukawa said.

That could mean that they are wrapping up development on the last Switch games in Spring of 2024 or it could mean that they will keep working on Switch games beyond April of 2025. It just means that the switch is not dead.

Nintendo is yet to officially comment on plans for its next console. However, according to VGC sources, the company has dispatched Switch 2 development kits to key partners, with a launch planned for the second half of 2024.

That implies that they know someone at a video game studio who says that Nintendo has made a Switch successor dev kit for third parties to prototype game engines on and that Nintendo thinks that they may launch a new console for Christmas 2024 (but it may slip later).

So, more rumors and speculation with no new announcements either way from Nintendo.
