Thanks to Visualante2 at GAF for the scores.

Well there it is.

Dandy Dungeon [9]

This game is great btw :toot:

Some cracking scores.

I may just buy this issue...

I wonder if Edge's Zelda review covers the Wii U version as well?

Only Switch copies have been made available for reviews.

I'm really happy to see Chris' name over articles online and in printed media! How is he these days?

Is the issue in the shops?

Out on Thursday.

My sub copy has just turned up, the cover is nice (that's the sub cover by the way), wonder if there will be an issue with the fact the subscriber copies have been delivered before the review embargo is up.

Review says...

Format Switch, Wii U (both tested)

Issue 300 was a big let down. I was expecting a bumper issue with tons of retrospective & forward looking features, but there wasn't much of that. I read the last issue as a free digital edition from the App Store but it's not the same! I think a new Zelda game review and feature deserves a buy.

Reviewer names are left of the reviews but I would think it quite likely that Chris Schilling also reviewed the game for EDGE and if he did - congratulations! :toot:

Even if he hasn't reviewed it (I think he did the Skyward Sword one) he has played it though

Although I'm not sure an Edge 10 carries the same meaning it once did it's still encouraging to see it scoring so highly, particularly considering how positive all the impressions have been.

I'd had some minor concerns about it but looks like Nintendo have done a great job. :wub:

David Jenkins (GameCentral) had good things to say about it, too:

So yeah, HYPE! (Even though I won't be playing it for a good long while :cry:

)

That's great news! I wonder if the review text makes mention of any variation between the two versions?

Anyhow... "I'm excited!"

He only posted here yesterday. :lol:

Urge to walk into a shop next week and get a Switch is suddenly rising.

Oops! Will check out this issue especially as horizon got another top score. Can't wait to play zelda!

Oh bollocks. Why do Zelda and Horizon have to come out in the same week? I have two Switches preordered and I have to decide by tomorrow whether to cancel or keep. I was going to cancel and wait until around June time but now I don't know.

Well, why not settle for just one switch, then you can afford to buy horizon also...?

Haven't bought a gaming magazine for a decade now, but I may just pick up this issue.

I should have clarified. I originally pre-ordered from Amazon but they were saying the delivery date would be one day late, on the fourth. So I preordered from Shop-To who can deliver at launch and perhaps a day early. I only intended to keep one.
