Despite Floigan Bros. being initially developed prior to the Dreamcast's release in 1999 (of which the main characters Moigle and Hoigle made cameos in the Dreamcast advertising campaign "It's Thinking"), and then-President of SEGA's American division Bernie Stolar saying that "Floigan will do for SEGA what Mario did for Nintendo", the game would go through developmental setbacks until finally releasing on July 30, 2001, months after SEGA ceased production on SEGA Dreamcast.

Because of this late release window, several pieces of monthly on-disc DLC for the game, as well as the concept of exchanging Moigles through the Dreamcast VMU, were left on the cutting room floor.

According to co-executive producer Greg Thomas, Floigan Bros. was intended to be the first in a series of games, with the game's logo being subtitled "episode 1" and it constantly being referred to as "the first installment", alluding to plans for sequels that would never happen:

"Ultimately, we want to make as many of these as we can, so our strategy has been to build a concept that is completely open-ended. Each new Floigan Bros. game would have its own storyline, new things to do, but the basic nature of the game, the relationship between Hoigle and Moigle, will always be central to the game-play."
