The game was never released outside of Japan, and is noted for its bizarreness.〔( Mystery Videogame Theater 3000 MVT3K #009: Trio the Punch )〕〔( ジー・モード、伝説のバカゲー「トリオ･ザ･パンチ」を配信開始 )〕 The game was re-released in 2007 as part of , a series which ported arcade games from the 1980s and 90s to the PlayStation 2. The mobile phone game company G-mode acquired the rights to the game after Data East's bankruptcy, and a mobile phone version of the game has been released for the Vodafone EZweb network.
