1) Poor Internet Connection

One possible reason behind players facing stuttering while gaming can be slow internet. Temporarily, you can put your Switch on Airplane Mode while playing Tails of Iron 2.

You can also use a wired connection. To confirm if the stuttering is caused by an internet issue, try connecting your Switch to the internet via your phone's mobile hotspot. If you believe it is your Wi-Fi that is messing things up, contact your internet service provider.
