Localisation Prospect: Criminal Girls Invitation

Today I'm gonna have a quick peek at Criminal Girls Invitation. I'm not entirely sure why this has been given as much exposure on western websites as it has. No announcement of a localisation has been made, or do they know something we don't? I was going to stick the 'Fan-Service Warning' banner on this but Ive decided not to. In truth, doing so is pandering to people who don't like it while those that don't mind it could find the banner to be an irritation. Either way, not putting it on is the best way to go. You don't like fan-service? Then you wont be reading the article about a game that has it anyway. I guess I could at least mention it in the opening paragraph, but the banner is going to be binned. It was a silly idea anyway! Onto the game...

 Nippon Ichi’s punishingly sexy RPG Criminal Girls is finally receiving a PSV release in the form of Criminal Girls Invitation, which promises to upgrade the spanking experience the title was infamous for to use the Vita’s touch panel. Set for release on November 28th, aside from new scenario content, additional playable characters and graphical upgrades, the main addition is that game’s “punishment system” has been updated to take advantage of the Vita’s generous touch panel. Accordingly, players are now promised the ability to reform the poor penitents with spanking using their bare hands… (Sankaku Complex)


EDIT: We now have a review for Criminal Girls Invitation [HERE] 

Criminal Girls Invitation is an enhanced port of a  PSP game (Criminal Girls) where you guide a group of female prisoners through a tower located in hell to be reincarnated. The girls are punished because of their deeds during their life (which match with the 7 capital sins for each girl) Each girl has a different vice and when you first band them together they won’t always listen to your battle commands. That’s where the punishment system comes in. If they refuse to acknowledge you, a swift punishment can be dealt. How about a bit of spanking? I'm being serious. You can do that if you want. Its a shoujo punishment RPG according to NIS after all.

 You've probably guessed that there isn't much to go on. That's true. Anything solid for the game is in Japanese due to the original not making its way west. From what I understand so far, from what Ive read from numerous people able to import & play Japanese games, Is that its not exactly the best game ever though. The PsP version had relatively mundane combat with enemies that weren't necessarily different from each other much (Actually everything about battle is minimal; minimal choices; minimal creature designs and minimal battle animations) and apparently the fan-service aspect of the game wasn't as bad as was made out to be (So far as sexual content goes, aside from the spanking, it's very tame. Compared to Queen's Blade: Spiral Chaos it's really nothing) Sounds a little average to me. Why is it getting so much exposure then? Maybe the mainstream actually want this localised? I dunno. The game is due for release in Japan on the 28th November. If we don't hear anything within a few months about a localisation Id say its not coming. Here's some artwork to mull over till then and a Trailer. If these few images don't cut it for ya, follow this LINK. You'll find some saucier artwork! Gonna have to hand it a nosebleed warning though. I guarantee you'll have one.

Criminal Girls Invitation has Live 2D models, touch screen controls, and alternate outfits for this part.

The Vita version also has two additional playable characters you can find in the Garden of Evil Memory story episode. This story takes place near the end of the game in night school. Players will run into a blue female-like figure, but it isn’t clear if she is a friend or a foe. Himekami, one of the new playable characters faces a shadow in this story episode, which may be a reflection of her crimes.
