Not off the top of my head no but the first i heard of it was from their BOTW review. EDGE are extremely well respected though, both in and outside the industry.  That is also the 1st time i've heard someone question their integrity. (Well apart from a few posters here and elsewhere after their BOTW review). I think we can agree that making accusations of a professional, massively respected review site on a forum is silly fanboy stuff. I guess Nintendo chose EDGE for their exclusive 1st review on both games because they know EDGE is the most respected respectors of what is quality out there and Nintendo have enough confidence in the quality of their games to do this. 

Ok, so we should only care about what EDGE have to say then? No other review site or publication is worth reading?

I'm just lurking this thread but I have to say it amazes me how you badly you misread and misinterpret everything other posters are saying. I'd only hope this is intentional as it really doesn't make you look good at all.

Like others have said, EDGE is one the most respected of gaming media and have been around for ages. They are one of the few paper magazines to survive the upswing of the internet and are obviously in a very good position in regards to publishers. When EDGE asks Nintendo to review SMO early so they can publish their review on time instead of weeks after launch, it's perfectly understandable why Nintendo chose to comply. Any other major publisher would have done the same, especially when you're confident you've deliverd a quality product.
