Can’t be bothered setting up a Japanese Xbox Live account? You’re in luck. According to Major Nelson, the Ninja Gaiden 2 demo will arrive tomorrow at 2:00 AM PT, in all regions except Germany and India. That’s about eight and a half hours from now - which makes knocking off work tonight seem a lot more exciting.
Let’s face it, you and I will never be ninjas. No - don’t start on that “I have the will of a ninja” crap, it’s just not going to happen…unless my recently discovered loophole pays off. Gamerscore Blog are currently taking submissions for your very own achievement to be sent off to Team Ninja to be considered for Ninja Gaiden II. Surely by telling a ninja what to achieve you are not only a ninja yourself but a ninja leader! Genius, I know - now get submitting.

Good news for those who got schooled playing the first Ninja Gaiden - the next installment of the series will feature regenerating health, making it far more noob-friendly than prior installments. Of course, including such a feature will always incite an angry response from the hardcore gamers, so Team Ninja has included a modifiable limiter that regulates the percentage of health recoverable from damage. To hear it from the man himself, watch the above video of Tomonobu Itagaki explaining the reason behind the change and how it works.
