 Consumers in Japan who are interested in purchasing the console and the upcoming fighting game will be able to buy them both as part of a single package when it arrives in the region on March 18.

The OP says it arrives march 18, not sure how true it is but this is what I got from it.

Edit: I know its not much of a source but even wikipedia has it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Wii_U_software

yeah it was confirmed during the Japanese direct it's coming out in March in Japan.

The question is, do they do a simultaneous launch?  I could see them not doing that for two reasons.  One, it would be directly competing with Twilight Princess HD.  They would rather not have that. Two, they would then have nothing in their usual May slot.  Now that could change, maybe with Genei Ibun Roku #FE or some other game.  But right now that slot would be empty.  So I could see them waiting and launching Pokken in early to mid May.  That way they have March, April, and May covered with the high profile release of Twilight Princess HD, Star Fox Zero, and Pokken respectively.
