Ninja Gaiden II demo hits Xbox Live and it's not what you think ...

by Xav de Matos { Feb 22nd 2008 at 1:35PM }

For the last two days we eagerly clicked refresh on Xbox Live Marketplace to play the fabled Ninja Gaiden II Demo that was teased to gamers all over the world.

Right now, the Xbox Live page has been updated and the demo has been launched! The only problem is the demo is actually a video of someone playing the demo.

No, we're not kidding. Yes we realize that putting a banner claiming a Ninja Gaiden II Demo was forthcoming and posting a video is a little misleading. So, the demo is up for you to try. If you try and watch it that is! Something tells me this will not go over well with the fans.

I agree, but only because I'm not interested in this game like everyone else.

HazyCloud @ Feb 22nd 2008 1:44PM

wtf? I am quite disappointed.

Lewis @ Feb 22nd 2008 1:46PM

WTF. I'm not buying the damn game anymore.

Philpott @ Feb 22nd 2008 3:53PM

over a demo?

Lewis @ Feb 22nd 2008 3:55PM

Yes. And the fact that I never liked Ninja Gaiden >.>

It is a demo, it is Demonstarting the demo.

mattclarkie @ Feb 22nd 2008 1:49PM

Xav de Matos @ Feb 22nd 2008 2:02PM

Oh sorry buddy, I didn't even see your email we just picked up on this ourselves.

ZEBRA NINER @ Feb 22nd 2008 2:10PM

It's because Xav hates you, and he is a big jerk. Freakin' jerk. ;)

Xav de Matos @ Feb 22nd 2008 2:29PM

Don't blame GDC, blame whoever worded that BS wrongly on Live.('Demo' should have been labeled as 'GDC Video') What a pile of suck. Way to get us worked up..

Tony @ Feb 22nd 2008 1:55PM

That's bizarre given that basically the video before was Itagaki playing the GDC demo. Misleading!

jhardesty @ Feb 22nd 2008 1:56PM

Your Douchebaggery astounds me...

Trekster_Gamer @ Feb 22nd 2008 2:04PM

darn, I was hoping for a demo showing off the potential of someone playing a prototype of a future demo inside a demo ;P

DeadPlasmaCell @ Feb 22nd 2008 2:08PM

Sooo is this a different video or what?? The video they had up in the first place was of someone playing the demo. wtf

xFenixKnightx @ Feb 22nd 2008 2:19PM

WTF?????!!!!!!!!!!!!

todd @ Feb 22nd 2008 2:25PM

Imran @ Feb 22nd 2008 2:28PM

I want my money back.

Xav de Matos @ Feb 22nd 2008 2:30PM

This whole thing is very Meta.

rockeranimefreak @ Feb 22nd 2008 2:30PM

I know I saw this myself today and was like? WTF? why label it demo if it's only a demonstration! I WANT MY NG2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Donnie @ Feb 22nd 2008 2:50PM

seriously....wtf?

SABCA @ Feb 22nd 2008 2:59PM

Man, that's pretty pathetic. Who ever it was who worded that should get demoted, or something! -_-;

It wasn't too much to expect of a "Bringing it home" style event anyway. Microsoft really needs to start getting some full-game demos lined up to go with these events, they're some of the most exciting possibilities of such things. Imagine how awesome it would have been to get a limited taste of SFIV exclusive to 360 as a demo?
