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

by Xav de Matos on Feb 22nd 2008 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.

THIS IS NOT GOING OVER WELL WITH ME! >:(

That's actually pretty funny. XD

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

wtf? I am quite disappointed.

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

over a demo?

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

It is a demo, it is Demonstarting the demo.

I can't spell....Demonstrating.

Sometimes a company's lameness knows no bounds

Someone just got Rickroll'd!!!

y no credit x3f. I sent this in.

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

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

Confirmed!

damn you asian joey ramone!!!

i used my other name, squeedom

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..

Your Douchebaggery astounds me...

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

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

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

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

haha just saw that... clicked it and a vid came up wow good stuff.

I want my money back.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This whole thing is very Meta.

seriously....wtf?

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?

Demo-ted? Oh man.

GIMME THAT 90 MINUTE GTA IV DEMO THEN
