Aw, so much for a Mario Tennis Direct then. Wonder if they're just not gonna have a pre-E3 direct at all then. Also I didn't see pre-launch tournament info in the video. Is there proof of that somewhere?

I posted a tweet in the OP, but here's a video from Gamexplain regarding the matter with date and time for NA.

Ha I had already ninja edited my post! But yeah I did see the tweet but since that Stealth guy is a leaker I assumed that was rumor, but nope Nintendo did indeed officially announce the dates, atleast for the Japanese version. I'm assuming there's also going be one for Europe and another for America, just like with the Splatfest demo. That'll give me ample opportunitys and time to decide if this is the first Mario Tennis game I play since the N64 version!

A demo will be playable next week, I've updated the OP with new info for anyone interested.

Still a little confused on whether you can play the demo outside the tournament time. It says you can play offline against the CPU, so I would assume you can, but it doesn't explicitly say so.

This is one of my most anticipated games of 2018, looks very good.

Yes, I believe that's the case, I think the demo next week is different from the online tournament on June 1-3, so you would be able to play it before the online tournament, but I want to know if we can play the demo online though.

According to the eShop description, the demo can only be played during the tournament, and it doesn't say anything about playing against CPUs. If even I was confused by the wording, then I can only imagine that the majority assumed it could be played whenever, so I expect to see lots of disappointment lel.

EDIT: There is an option to play against CPU but it doesn't work of course.

Yeah, Polygon didn't mention it(which they got from Nintendo of Japan) but I looked around and found out that you can only download it on the 24th but can't play till June 2 12AM AEST/Australian Time, why'd they even bother with this though, they should have just said pre-load for the Online Tournament.

Here's the source.

Probably so people can read how to play the game. It's got a lot more depth than I thought, taunting even has an actual benefit!

That's a very peculiar and limiting release.
