GDC08: Ninja Gaiden II demo to appear on XBLM

According to a GDC content banner that appears on the XBLM, it makes mention that a downloadable Ninja Gaiden II demo will be "Coming Soon". The item is not clickable just yet, so no demo goodness for us, but we have a feeling that Thursday will bring bloody ninja fun for fanboys across the globe. Keep your eyes glued to the XBLM and keep your browser tuned into X3F as we await the demo's release. Ninja-KICK!
[Thanks, MIKEAWESOME]

Seems kinda early in development to release a demo. But hell, bring it on!
DemonGSides @ Feb 21st 2008 12:32AM
early? it comes out in like 3 months
dancingtosirens @ Feb 21st 2008 12:32AM
But doesn't it come out in like... 4 months, give or take?
I think thats ample time for at least one of the beginning levels

Awesome. GDC is also held on Friday, so I'm hoping if not tomorrow, we'll see it the next day.

Yeah I'm pretty sure at least 75% of the game, give or take a few bugs, is complete by now. I'd see no problem with them releasing a demo now. And I surly can't wait.

YAY! NOW I CAN TAKE A BLOODBATH! w000000t! =)

Gee I wonder if we will see it in OZ ? The marketplace content is pretty crappy here, yeah we get game demos I guess but what about tv, movies etc, there is only so many times you can watch 1 Robbie Williams film-clip before you go postal.

"there is only so many times you can watch 1 Robbie Williams film-clip before you go postal."
Once?

Honeslty? I think we're going to have to import Ninja Gaiden 2...With decapitation and gore, there's little chance of it passing Australia's rating system...
So if the demo doenst come here, I'll use my American account, and if the game doesn't come here, I'm importing :P

Awesome, I can't wait for this.
Slice and dice!

cool, seems I have to connect my XBOX to the PC again and establish a VPN connection to switzerland, so I can download it. (german IPs are banned from downloading bloody demos)

Dr Ecksack 3000 @ Feb 21st 2008 10:22AM

My family is just north of Phorzeim in tiny town... I'm going to butcher the spelling now but Nuelingen-Bauschlette and dispersed through the surrounding towns.
I can't speak much German but I was born in Phorzeim myself.

Pforzheim is like 400km on the autobahn from here, I've never been there. But did you know that "Forz" or "Furz" is german for "fart", so Pforzheim means Farthome in english :-)

I'm interested in NG2, as well as its achievements...
DjDATZ @ Feb 21st 2008 8:55AM
rich'll be all over this demo!
HazyCloud @ Feb 21st 2008 9:10AM
I think I just peed a little. Thank you X3F for finding this.

Self control is imperative. Relax.
Stephen @ Feb 21st 2008 9:14AM
Well its Thursday and no demo yet. But as someone else said GDC goes on through Friday too. I think its too early, I think by it saying coming soon that it just means that a demo will come out before the game does, which is something Itagaki wanted. But, I hope it comes out this week.
Stephen @ Feb 21st 2008 9:17AM
Then again there are several things under the GDC section that say coming soon (like the keynote its self) so it looks very likely it is coming out this week.
ultima_omega @ Feb 21st 2008 9:34AM
I'm guessing the demo is for the American marketplace since mine dosen't say there is a demo coming soon.
SadisticHam @ Feb 21st 2008 9:48AM
It'd better not be America only. :@
Mikeawesome @ Feb 21st 2008 9:54AM
Holla!
I love sending in a good tip.

@ Mikeawesome
Good find, man. Let's hope we see it soon.

The "demo" just went up, but alas it is nothing more than new gameplay footage of the same level we have already seen. It does shed some light on switching weapons, but I am very disappointed. I was really hoping for a demo.
