Without warning, like the shadowy figures known only through whispers in the night, Ninja Gaiden Sigma has made its presence known on the PlayStation Store. The demo will be available today in the US, one day prior to its Japanese release, alongside a demo for Virtua Tennis.

Also coming out today are trailers for Gauntlet II, The Wheelman, John Woo's Stranglehold and The Godfather. The full version of Ninja Gaiden Sigma is set for a June release (on disc).

I already have this game on the Xbox and have played it on the 360 upscaled. There is no doubt that the PS3 version is better when it comes to graphics, I just hope the game is as fun if not more than the first version. Im looking forward to downloading this 2night.

That is definitely a pleasant surprise. If only Remote Play were available from any WiFi spot, i would be checking the PS Store every hour!

The polished graphics and such additions as dual sword wielding should be a welcome treat to those double dipping from the last gen incarnation. I'll make sure my friend downloads this so I can get a dose.

I thought Calling All Cars was supposed to drop today...

Incidently, Moe, Japanese demo comes out tomorrow. How did you play it?

GJM: Apr 26th 2007; 2:37PM

Ikuu: Apr 26th 2007; 2:41PM

The demo has been up on the JPN store for a few hours now.

Phranctoast: Apr 26th 2007; 2:44PM

hoos30: Apr 26th 2007; 3:21PM

Hmmm. First Krazy Ken gets the boot and now PSN get a great demo. Coincidence? I think not.

Austin: Apr 26th 2007; 3:26PM

Where are you guys finding the demo? It isnt on the US PSN store for me?

DrF: Apr 26th 2007; 3:33PM

Any idea if, and when, a European demo will materialise?

Faisal: Apr 26th 2007; 3:46PM

Ahhh Ninja Gaiden... This game gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside, like a kitten... but that kitten is a zombie, on fire, dual chainsaw arms, with laser eyes, riding a motorcycle (blindfolded) 120mph with a side cart, and seated in is death him/(her?)self whom was killed and then brought back from the dead (?) by an evil robot clown who is also a zombie... on fire... and it's chasing after you..... and your riding a unicycle..........

that's on fire

I love this game ;-)

deaftly: Apr 26th 2007; 6:58PM

Raikage: Apr 26th 2007; 7:11PM

@17 YAHTZEE!!!

Jitty: Apr 26th 2007; 7:12PM

Wow very nice, the ninja gaiden demo coming out so early (within our reach) seems almost melodramatic in a way. And, I'm sure as hell going to down load most if not all of those demos by tomorrow...
