Last night, Nintendo confirmed the dates for the More Mario Tennis Aces Pre-launch Online Tournament. We now have a few more details.

Four playable characters will be playable in the demo right out of the gate: Mario, Peach, Yoshi, and Bowser. While advancing through the tournament stages, players can earn points based on their performance. Five additional characters can be unlocked in the demo by gaining enough points.

Along with online tournaments, the demo includes one-off single-player tennis battles against a computer-controlled opponent.
