That's interesting; it indicates that Konami treated "2nd" as an entirely new game for Japan, but only a version upgrade for the overseas market.
My guess is that the "visible" "2nd" features (new costumes) are only enabled for Japan. Konami is (in)famous for releasing very different versions of their games overseas than in Japan, and they may have figured that dressing fighting game characters up in fetish costumes wouldn't appeal to Western players (though that didn't stop Tecmo)
Ville, if you set the country code to Japan does the demo show the characters in different costumes?
