Update: OK, so don't shoot the messenger. Major Nelson, apologetically updated his post regarding the Ninja Gaiden II demo for all regions. Originally the demo was to be available to all Xbox Live regions excluding Germany and India but now it turns out that you can add Canada and the US to that list. So, no Ninja Gaiden II demo tomorrow for Canadians or Americans. Major still suspects a demo will drop some time this late this week. Also, he promises to talk to a few people about the mix up. Somebody's gonna get-a hurt reeeeal bad (some NSFW Russell Peters love for you in this time of mourning).
Gamers outside of Japan eagerly anticipating a hands-on experience with Ninja Gaiden II only have a few hours to go. According to Major Nelson the demo for the upcoming action title will hit all Xbox Live regions (excluding Germany and India) at 0200 PT tomorrow.
Our fearless leader has already had a few days with the demo and expressed his love for it in the X3F TV Demo Impressions video late last week. Anyone on the fence about picking up the game should try out the demo when it launches tomorrow along side the retail release.
[Thanks, Glitch W again]

That's why you should always keep a spare JAP/EU/US account.

I have to wonder; since this demo is so late in coming, does this bar bad for the final game quality?

I think it means that this game is probably going to be Ninja Gaiden for the Xbox, with shinier graphics, and the combat turned up to 11.
Basically it's the wet dream of Ninja Gaiden fans everywhere, and the nightmare of anyone that either didn't like Ninja Gaiden, or couldn't play Ninja Gaiden because it was too hard.
Either way, I won't be staying up for this thing. I'll download it when I wake up in the morning. It seems like all popular Beta's and Demo's launch in the middle of the night....very annoying.

It's not like it's releasing two weeks later like Army of Two or anything. On release day doesn't seem that late to me.

I fail to see what this video has to do with Ninja Gaiden.

them not putting it out in the US or Canada makes me wonder about the final product.

I'll give it a try, but i'll prob. wait until NG2 hits $40. MGS4 could take awhile ;)

Yeah, there's all that time between the movies when MG4 lets you play.

Cheap shot :(
Honestly, being a diehard MG fan, i love the fact that there's 90-minute cutscenes. I'm buying some popcorn!

@Mr.U2,
jimbob is just here to spam us with a link to this weezer video. If I had to guess I'd say he's an intern at the record label? Either that or a member of weezer's street team if they have one. Either way, pure spam though... take a look at his post history, he seemingly signed up today and his only comment, across 4 weblogs blogs, has been this fucking video.
Here's hoping he gets banned!

You could play and beat NG2 during the cut-scenes of MGS4.
