Ninja Gaiden 2 demo puts the scythe in your hands

Japan is the first and only region in the world with a downloadable Ninja Gaiden 2 demo at this time. If you have a gold Xbox Live account registered in Japan you can give Ryu’s scythe a swing. If not you have to wait a week until it’s available for silver menus, but by that time the game will already be out around the world. Ninja Gaiden 2 comes out in North America on June 3 and in Japan on June 5.

There still is a demo planned for “all other regions”, but there is no information on when we will see it. Maybe Monday, right before Ninja Gaiden arrives in stores?
