Actually, Mario + Rabbids it's not an upgrade. Turns out the game had a double buffer V-Sync and the Switch 2 extra power allows it to reach 60fps instead of the usual 30 on Switch 1.

There are many similar cases were games see significant gains in performance just by running on the Switch 2. NEO: The World Ends With You, Trials of Mana, Monster Hunter Stories 2 and Ni No Kuni 2 to name a few, run at 30fps or at uncapped framerates on Switch 1 and on Switch 2 are 60fps with little to no drops at all.

That is kind of funny.  An unintentional upgrade.  I still maintain Mario vs Rabbids is one of the best strategy games in recent times.  I'd love to see a third on the S2.  

I'm torn on the prospects of a 3rd. I loved the 1st game but the 2nd is up there with my most disappointing games of all time.

My main gripe is that it was just insultingly easy. The 1st game was by no means hard but I remember it being tricky to get through many missions with your whole team intact, and those special challenge missions were straight up challenging. 

I waltzed through the first half of sparks of hope barely having to pay attention then just stopped. 

I also wasn't a fan of the free movement approach in SoH.

For me at least, in a strategy/puzzle game there has to be a decent level of challenge or it's just an empty experience.

It's a weird one as generally Nintendo strike a good balance in terms of difficulty, even 2nd party/co-developed projects...

If they do a 3rd I hope they remember that most switch owners are adults and don't want a baby's first xcom. At least gimme a hard mode where enemies do double xp damage or something, ffs.
