You don’t have much longer to wait to finally get a taste of Nintendo’s next fighting game.
The publisher announced today that North American fans can download the Super Smash Bros. for 3DS demo from the eShop on Sept. 19 … unless you’re a select Club Nintendo Platinum member. If you have registered enough hardware and software to earn your way to the highest level of the company’s loyalty program, you have a chance to get an invite to install the demo today. During its broadcast on the livestreaming video site Twitch today, Nintendo of America confirmed the trial will feature five characters and one stage.

The game, and its Wii U counterpart which is due out later this year, are two of Nintendo’s biggest upcoming releases. Getting a chance to try it early will likely play a big part in continuing (or defusing) that hype.
Today, as part of its promotional plans for the handheld Smash Bros., Nintendo is broadcasting several hours of the game in action. The company’s American division has essentially completed the English translation, and it will show off what that looks like starting at around 1 p.m. Pacific.
