10 Upcoming Nintendo Switch Games To Get Excited About

9. Mario + Rabbids: Sparks Of Hope

Monster Hunter Stories 2
Nintendo/Ubisoft

For some peculiar reason, humanity seems to be fascinated with utterly irritating characters who scream a lot and never calm down. The cinematic world has Minions, and the gaming sphere has the Rabbids.

These annoying creatures were introduced in the game Rayman Raving Rabbids and spawned a whole franchise of games. No one asked for them to cross over with Mario, but then Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle arrived, and it was a surprisingly great title.

Mario + Rabbids is now back for its second game in Sparks of Hope, and while the raving creatures might not have the star power they once had, this game still seems set to be a blast. This time the characters are travelling to space to stop an evil entity from stealing the titular sparks - those being the fusions of Lumas and Rabbids.

The narrative isn't what you should be coming for, though, as the turn-based tactical gameplay of the original title was the real selling point. It gave players a well thought out challenge and a fun battle system which looks set to continue in this one.

It comes along in 2022 and is sure to be a goofy/enjoyable time.
