Irem's Undercover Cops is one of the most expensive Super Famicom titles, regularly changing hands for $200 just for the loose cartridge. However, Retro-Bit has come to our rescue with a reissue of the game which comes with a bunch of other goodies that collectors will want to check out.
Retro-Bit was kind enough to send us a sample of the North American version, and we've pulled together this gallery to show it off. As a refresher, this is what's contained within 'The Collectors Edition' ($69.99 / €64.99):
- Undercover Cops SNES Collectible Cartridge Cover (NA & EU)
- Outer Slipcover with exclusive artwork
- Hard Embossed packaging
- Full-coloured Instruction Manual
- Undercover Cops SNES Cartridge in Mutant Red (NA & EU)
- City Sweepers Edition Sticker Set
- Crazy Chicken Acrylic Keychain
- Individually Number Certificate of Authenticity
- Special Operative Identification Profile Cards
- Exclusive double-sided poster featuring original comic art
- Collector’s Rosa Felmonde Vinyl Figure designed by Erick Scarecrow Toys

That cartridge is beautiful. Also the game looks pretty rad, never played it before.
I got their Jaleco Brawler’s pack a while ago. I liked that it was just a box and manual without all the additional tat so came in cheaper. However, I didn’t like anything about it. It all just felt really cheap. The box, manual, cartridge, none of them felt right and I ended up selling it.
Not sure how this one compares but it’s put me right off buying any of these re-issue type releases, hence I didn’t bother going for this.
It had the worst sprite flicker of any Super Famicom game ever
A game I never heard of... strange.
Thanks to jailbroken Super Nt's, Super Everdrives, Super Powerpaks, and SD2SNES/FX Pak Pro's, I'm surprised there's a market here for these unlicensed (By Nintendo, that is) reproductions.
Judging by what HamatoYoshi says, I'm glad the Super Nt can reduce or even eliminate sprite flicker (Optionally upping the sprite limit from 32 sprites per line to 64). If I ever fire this up off my SD card, I'll be sure to enable that option.
So if NL got a copy, that means the copy I ordered is going to come some day in the future, right?
@Atariboy It seems this is a translation done by one of the most reputable fan translators (who it seems started a company to legitimize his work by producing new translations authorized by the IP owners).
Before Metal Slug, Irem created one of must play beat em up. Undercover Cops, but the arcade version is great... the snes version is ok... but...
@KingMike That's cool. I believe I know the individual you're talking about and have enjoyed several of his translations in the past. Definitely lends a bit more value to this package, imo.
