  Policenauts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Policenauts (ポリスノーツ) is a Japanese adventure game written and directed by Hideo Kojima and developed and published by Konami.
Policenauts is a portmanteau word from the words police and astronaut.
While many fans have made their own speculations for the cancellation, the official reason (according to an interview between Hideo Kojima and Mamoru Oshii published in a Japanese Policenauts guide, conducted on August 8, 1996) was (admittedly strange-sounding) timing problems between the English dubbing and the on-screen action during the animated FMV scenes.

Back in '95, I remember first reading about Policenauts in a magazine and was immediately hooked by one sentence: "It's the sequel to Snatcher!" Now, having just finished Snatcher for the first time and having loved every minute of it, I couldn't wait for Policenauts.

 Snatcher >> Policenauts : SoundtrackCentral.com
My experience with Policenauts is a bit more limited so I wasn't as familiar with the music, but, just like Snatcher, it's all excellent.
"Policenauts Endtitle" is the perfect credits theme, a reprise of the opening music in the game and overture of various other themes (many may recognize the Policenauts theme from the opening Konami logo for Metal Gear Solid).
The only problem I have with the Policenauts tracks is that some of them are rather short; in between the nice four and five minute arrangements, there are a few songs that barely last more than a minute.

A rerelease of Snatcher and a English release of Policenauts would be great both for existing fans of the series and those, like myself, who haven't had a chance to experience these games.

Policenauts was the follow up to the highly acclaimed Snatcher.
Just like Snatcher, Policenauts is filled with many different flavors of music, all of which are crystal clear and just all around catchy and mood setting.
When Policenauts was announced, I was more than hopeful, that a US release would come, but it never did.

 TNL Forum - Policenauts
Policenauts was released on four different platforms between '94 and '96.
I think the only way Policenauts will ever have a chance of reaching our shores is if Kojima gives up his own stubborness and decides to do something about the situation and I don't believe that'll happen anytime soon.
As for Kojima, he has stated AMNY time sthat Policenauts is indeed one of his favorite titles he did and NEVER said he disliked it or Snatcher.

 IGN: The Policenauts E-Mail Campaign
Almost completed for the Sega Saturn in the U.S. before being cancelled years ago, this Japanese-only legend of videogames is being re-released on the PSOne for what is believed to be the final time.
This was actually a success, as Konami of America discussed localizing the game with Konami of Japan, but Hideo Kojima said that he didn't want to bother with this older title.
Policenauts is getting re-released in Japan (most likely for the last time) in a few weeks and the game is fresh in their minds, now would be a good time to show Konami of Japan directly that consumer interest is still there.

 Sega Saturn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Many Saturn projects were cancelled in anticipation of the new console or through frustration with Sega.
After further poor sales throughout 1997 many games planned for a western Saturn release were cancelled, including highly anticipated titles such as Sonic X-treme, Policenauts and Lunar The Silver Star Story.
A chain reaction of cancellations transformed a promising 1998 schedule of releases to a small handful of titles extending little beyond Panzer Dragoon Saga, Burning Rangers, Shining Force 3 and Magic Knight Rayearth — the only third party title released that year.
