It's because they want to fully experience the online multiplayer. I watched one of their streams and there were barely any people online (just some Nintendo employees and a few other reviewers). It makes sense; they just don't want to have another BF4 situation.

That doesn't really make sense considering the public gets the game on the 29th and they want the review out before then

That's not really true. I mean you'd expect most, if not all, people buying a game day 1 to have already made up their mind about it and not to be affected by reviews. Anyone basing a purchase decision on a review is likely to be getting it later anyway.

If they played it long enough to make a conclusion on it in the review in progress, and they aren't going to be playing it when there is a large number of people playing on it, then why wait?
