Japanese gamers will get the chance to download a playable demo of the upcoming brawler Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3, according to publisher Namco Bandai. Players will get to experience two of the game's early scenarios. In the first players will use the Third Hokage to battle the Nine-tails demon. In the second players will use Minato Namikaze to take down the Masked Man. This demo will be available on February 19th.

The demo hasn't been announced for North America but, unbelievably, the game itself will launch here before it launches in Japan. Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 will be available in North America on March 5th and in Japan on April 18th.
