While the game is less than a week away from it’s release date, the few lucky Japanese Xbox 360 owners will get a taste of the action a little bit sooner.

A demo for the cut-em-up Ninja Gaiden II has hit Xbox Live in Japan, but what about the rest of us? Well, there isn’t really any news regarding when the demo will be released in the US or UK other than ‘soon’.

Ninja Gaiden II is currently in its last stages of development by Team Ninja and will hit North American shelves on June 3rd and European shelves on June 6th, exclusively for the Xbox 360.
