Here are the pertinent details for how we’re rolling-out this Open Beta for one of the most explosive and ground-breaking fighting games in recent memory.

• August 3rd: Release the Open Beta on the eShop for pre-load only (players will be able to begin downloading the Open Beta client on this day).

• August 9th (9:00pm PDT): Official release of the Open Beta on the Nintendo eShop and start of the Open Beta session (all players can now launch the game and have access to the online game servers).
