Criminal Girls 2: Party Favors Shinoa trailer plus some not so hot controversy

NIS has given us a trailer about one of the inmates of Criminal Girls 2: Party Favors you will have on your team: Shinoa. She’s cute with pink hair and wields a large sword! Be sure to check out her character trailer below.

In other news, it looks like Criminial Girls 2: Party Favors will not be advertised or sold in retail in Germany because there is no USK rating.  The game will also not be sold in Australia or with an UFLC rating. Bummer.  However, Europe will have a PEGI rating of 16 and up and  will be rated M in North America.  We will see it’s release on September 20th in North America, and a release in Europe on September 23rd.

Any comments on the ratings? Let us know.
