Along with its Super Famicom counterpart, Socks the Cat Rocks the House is thought to have been cancelled following the closure of publisher Kaneko's American subsidiary. It would remain unheard of for the next 25 years, until an aftermarket seller acquired a prototype copy of the Super Famicom version and released in on a run of physical cartridges. While that version's ROM was soon dumped, the Mega Drive version's whereabouts remain unknown.
