I was wondering if all copies of Fighting Vipers 2(Japanese version for Dreamcast) come with a Shenmue 2 demo,or if it was a first pressing giveaway?

In defense of Bob, the search function yields no "Shenmue 2 demo" results.

A demo? I'm not sure, but there is an actual demo of S2X that comes with one of the xbox magazines, I still have the disc for it if you want a backup.

I had that and thought it was a poor way to show off the game.

As far as I know, there never was a playable "demo" of Shenmue II for DC in Japan.

I think the Shenmue "demo" was only included in the japanese pre-order editions of fighting vipers 2. At least I am pretty sure the normal release did not contain the "demo" any more.

Also the demo is just a 5 minute self running movie, so you are better off watching old shenmue 2 clips on youtube. There was never any playable Shenmue 2 Demo on any system, neither in Japan nor anywhere else.

All I can say is that recently I've found this demo was uploaded to the internet.

Doesn't surprise me but really its a poor demo that would have done little to get sales.

I think an interesting question is what part of the game would you use as a demo? :-k
