How to Download the Ninja Blade Demo Right Now

Yesterday Major Nelson informed Xbox 360 owners that a demo of From Software's sword-thrashing action-game, Ninja Blade, had been released onto the Xbox Live Marketplace in Japan; find out how to download it right now. Use the below instructions to create a Japanese Xbox Live silver account and log into it, the Ninja Blade demo will be the first choice on the main XBLM screen, I have put a couple hours into the demo and it is actually quite good, although it needs some major polishing. From what I have heard the demo will not be region locked and is OK to download no matter where on the world you live. Let us know if you are successful and what you think of the demo by heading over to our forums by clicking here.

Creating your own Japanese Xbox Live Silver Account:

• Head on over to Microsoft's passport Web site (if you're logged in to a current account, make sure to sign out). Sign up for a new, free Hotmail account.
• When asked, remember to answer that you're from Japan -- don't worry, you dirty liar, we won't judge you.
• The next part, which would be the "trickiest," is entering some additional information about where you are from. You'll have to enter bogus information. The following should work fine (the phone number is for a Domino's Pizza near Akebonobashi Station in Tokyo):

  Postal code: 150-2345
  Province: Tokyo-to
  Phone Number: 098-974-0604

• Once you've activated your new Hotmai account, it's time to head on over to your Xbox 360. Switch profiles if necessary (the X button) and create a new profile, and a new Xbox Live account.
• You'll next have to sign in with your new Japanese passport. Keep the number for Domino's Pizza Akebonobashi handy, because you're going to need to enter it again. Also, you might get hungry.
• Create a gamertag and the first screen once you sign in will have the Ninja Blade demo as the very first selection, click it and then select "Download Ninja Blade Demo" ... that's it!
