Update: This is out now – see the image below.

Most of the time, demos come out before a game launches. But in the case of Pokken Tournament, we could be seeing a trial after release.

A listing for Pokken Tournament on the European Wii U eShop notes that there will be a demo for the game. It doesn’t say when we can expect it, however. If we hear anything else on this front, we’ll let you know.

System: Wii U
Release date: March 18, 2016
Developer: Bandai Namco
Publisher Nintendo

Way back in 2013, fans were treated to a very short three second clip of Lucario and Blaziken standing across from each other in a gorgeous HD graphical style we had not seen with Pokemon before. It was a whole year before we heard anything regarding it, and then out of the blue, it was announced: Pokken Tournament, a fighting game developed by Bandai Namco with supervision from Tekken and Soul Calibur heavyweights Katushiro Harada and Masaaki Hoshino. It was confirmed to come out for arcades in Japan, but ultimately fans all over the world wanted it in their homes where they felt it’d be best – the Wii U. It wasn’t until sometime into 2015 where we finally received confirmation that it would indeed be making its way to Nintendo’s home platform and getting a worldwide release in 2016. Now, here we are. Pokken Tournament is in the hands of fighting game an Pokemon enthusiasts around the globe, but has it been worth the wait?
