Remember a few days ago when we said the Ninja Blade demo would make its way to the Japanese Marketplace? We're not saying we're magic or anything but as Picard would say, "Make it so." According to Major Nelson the Japan-only demo is now available on the JXBLM. For those keen on checking out the ninja-action, comments on Major's post claim the demo is both region-free and includes English text.
Earlier in the month Japan was rewarded with an exclusive Resident Evil 5 demo that was originally region-free. Soon after realizing non-Japanese gamers had been downloading and playing the demo, new downloads of the demo outside of Japan were blocked and the online co-op was disabled. So, let's keep news about Ninja Blade on the DL okay? That means don't tell anyone you're downloading it and please do not post this information on the internet. Oh, wait. Crap.

As of today, nobody has confirmed this. Does the demo require gold to download? Also, do American 48 hour codes work on the Japanese XBL?

I see it online now. It does require gold. 48 hour codes do not work.

I got it and tried it, burned it on a CD-RW. It's ok, some of the QTEs are annoying, but this game has some good in it.

I have a question...
How do you download a Japanese Demo...?
My guess is that you make a japanese account on XBL?
If that is true... Does the free month of gold when you make a new account work?

Yeah that should work but I think you can only create an account with gold 3 times on one console, so use them wisely.
You could also just download the demo online off a torrent site and burn it on a cd-r, pop it in the 360, select games/demos and it should be located under there.

Been looking for that and abgx.net doesn't have one listed yet! Once it is I'll be burning and playing!

abgx.net is a torrent listing site for properly stealthed 360 games. You have to go to a torrent website and download anything you see there.
