Columbus Circle to Release Super Turrican & Director's Cut on July 31
The release marks the first official reissue of Factor 5's Super Turrican with a Director's Cut that restores previously removed content, packaged as a single SFC cartridge.
Reporting from 1 source: GAME Watch (Impress).
Columbus Circle will release a Super Famicom cartridge containing both the original 1993 Super Turrican and a restored Director's Cut version on July 31, priced at 8,778 yen. The Director's Cut restores content cut due to cartridge limits. A new package illustration by designer Han, supervised by Factor 5, is included.
The cartridge includes the 2D action shooter Super Turrican, originally released by German developer Factor 5 in 1993, alongside a Director's Cut that the publisher calls a 'complete edition.' The Director's Cut restores sound, stages, and enemy characters that were cut due to cartridge capacity limits at the time. The package illustration is newly drawn by designer Han, who has worked on classic 2D action games in Japan, under Factor 5's supervision and permission. Columbus Circle notes the cartridge is not guaranteed to work on all genuine or third-party SFC compatible systems; operation has been confirmed on Columbus Circle's own compatible hardware.
