Here&#8217;s a snippet of what we had to say:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Ittle Dew is a top-class puzzle-adventure title that Zelda fans will absolutely adore. Even if you&#8217;re not a Hyrule aficionado, there&#8217;s enough wit and charm (and one of our favourite soundtracks in the entire Wii U library) to make it appealing to players from all walks of life. Unfortunately, the combat mechanic is sub-par, and most egregiously the game is full of technical issues. They are by no means a deal breaker, though, and you should definitely check this one out; Ittle Dew is one of the most clever, well-designed indie titles on the eShop.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><\/blockquote>\n<aside class=\"gallery\">\n<div class=\"col\"><a title=\"Switch IttleDew 01\" href=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/55ff079d42e9f\/switch-ittledew-01.original.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/static.nintendolife.com\/blank.gif\" width=\"445\" height=\"245\" data-original=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/55ff079d42e9f\/switch-ittledew-01.445x245.jpg\" alt=\"Switch IttleDew 01\"><\/a><a title=\"Switch IttleDew 02\" href=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/3d57c5bac602d\/switch-ittledew-02.original.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/static.nintendolife.com\/blank.gif\" width=\"445\" height=\"245\" data-original=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/3d57c5bac602d\/switch-ittledew-02.445x245.jpg\" alt=\"Switch IttleDew 02\"><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"col\"><a title=\"Switch IttleDew 03\" href=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/738c23d9b2f10\/switch-ittledew-03.original.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/static.nintendolife.com\/blank.gif\" width=\"445\" height=\"245\" data-original=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/738c23d9b2f10\/switch-ittledew-03.445x245.jpg\" alt=\"Switch IttleDew 03\"><\/a><a title=\"Switch IttleDew 05\" href=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/ea8ce9c98ba95\/switch-ittledew-05.original.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/static.nintendolife.com\/blank.gif\" width=\"445\" height=\"245\" data-original=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/ea8ce9c98ba95\/switch-ittledew-05.445x245.jpg\" alt=\"Switch IttleDew 05\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>The trailer above notes that the game will release on Switch on 18th August, but both the European and North American eShop listings for the game say that it&#8217;ll launch on the 15th for \u00a38.99 \/ $9.99.
