Capcom explained via MTV Multiplayer that there have been complications that’s why the demo wasn’t released in the US. But, but. Not to worry, they’re all set to finally get it out early next year. Well, we didn’t exactly get a more specific date from them, but at least we know it’s coming to our shores, right?

Hopefully it won’t be “early 2009” as in March 2009. Cos the game’s out by March 13 then, so that’s not gonna be much of a tiding-over. We’ll keep you posted on more updates on this.
