Microsoft has confirmed that a Ninja Gaiden 2 demo is heading for Xbox Live this May.
Not a whole lot was revealed about the demo, but the official blurb tells us, "Get your hands on the free demo coming to Xbox LIVE Marketplace in May, and guide Ryu on his mission to avenge his clan!" As this is pretty much the thrust of the entire game, so no surprises there.
The fact that a demo is on the way was revealed by an Xbox Live listing over the course of the Game Developers Conference over in San Francisco, but this is the first time anything like a date has been put on it.
Also revealed at GDC was the 'Ninja Cinema' feature, which will tickle our sense of ninja showmanship by "allowing players to record and upload their best ninja moves to Xbox LIVE", according to Microsoft.
For more on Ninja Gaiden 2, check out SPOnG's dedicated game page.

And if this had been a demo for the PS3 you guys would have done a lot more writing and been a lot more positive...Thanks for making it read like you guys dont care and are not bothered.
For those out there that love Ninja Gaiden and are looking forward to number 2 and the demo as well to get a taste of whats to come this will be a huge hit for sure so please try to show a bit more enthusiasm.

Given that there was no coverage of the Ninja Gaiden Sigma demo on SPOnG, don't you think you're letting your anticipation for this game colour your reading?

Not really since Sigma was just a rehash of an Xbox 1 game and the FMV in the PS3 version were terrible.
Ninja Gaiden 2 deserves a lot of coverage and hype and a game like this is going to sell tons, the demo is drool worthy.

Err... the demo's out in May? Did you travel forward in time and play it? Why not travel forward in time to play the full game?
Must say, I'm looking forward to this. Last month I dreamed of being a ninja, but apparently I walk to loudly. Sometimes, the universe deals you a bum hand.

Which is techniclly a rehash of a nes game, but enough about that.
Personally I don't see NG2 staying 360 exclusive, which is why (despite how much I want the game) I'm not going to rush out and buy the first pre-owned 360 I see (unless I come into some money)
