In a press release NIS America has passed along news that Germany will not be seeing a release of Criminal Girls 2: Party Favors. It seems even though the game was toned down for the Western release the edits did not go far enough for (USK) rating board and it was denied a rating. Here is the full press statement from NISA:
Today we are disappointed to announce that the Unterhaltungssoftware Selbstkontrolle (USK), Germany’s video game ratings board, has refused to provide a rating for Criminal Girls 2: Party Favors. This means that the title will not be advertised or sold at retail in Germany.
We will still be releasing Criminal Girls 2: Party Favors in other regions of Europe carrying a PEGI 16 rating on September 23, and in North America with an M rating on September 20. There will be no release of Criminal Girls 2: Party Favors in Australia or with an OFLC rating.

While this is very inconvenient for customers in the affected area at least the PlayStation Vita is region free.
