On the eve of the most glutinous day of the year we have found out that the Japanese will be getting a nice holiday treat from Capcom. Today we discovered that the Resident Evil 5 Demo is set for release Dec. 5th in Japan. The demo will be available only on the Xbox 360, and only to the land of the rising sun.  Sorry homeboys it seems we will not be seeing a Resident Evil 5 demo in the good old USA yet.

RE5 Development is said to be going so well that it will be released a whole week early then originally scheduled. Here in the U.S. RE5 is set for release March 13th, as previously scheduled. Although we have heard nothing of a demo in North America, we are set to get one for the 360, and PS3 but when is still unknown.

So while we are getting stuffed this Thanksgiving just know that Japanese people will be getting stuffed as well, but with the knowledge that they will be getting a RE5 demo Dec. 5th, and be getting the full game a week earlier then previously scheduled.  2 Japan, United States ZIP.

The fifth installment in Capcom’s super Survival Horror series Resident Evil 5 will be attacking the shelves March 13th, but until that day comes the ever growing Resident Evil 5 popularity cloud continues to swell. It has just gotten a little bigger with the release of the new screenshots on Capcom’s blog.

Just to be sure all you guys are up to speed. Here is a quick list of the major RE5 info Capcom has released on their Blog.
