''Tetris Attack'' was released in Japan on October 27, 1995, August 1996 in North America, and November 28, 1996, in Europe. Development was headed by [[Intelligent Systems]] and produced by [[Gunpei Yokoi]], known as the creator of the [[Game Boy]]. The Japanese version of the game is titled ''Panel de Pon'', featuring fairies as the main characters with a fantasy setting. International versions instead replace these with characters and settings from ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', a game released earlier in 1995. Though international releases have the name ''Tetris Attack'', the game has no relation to the ''[[Tetris]]'' video game franchise, leading to [[Tetris Company]] co-founder [[Henk Rogers]] saying in a 2009 interview he regrets giving Nintendo permission to using the name. Although Rogers liked the game, he believed it "got lost in history" due to it using the ''Tetris'' branding.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Perlee |first1=Ben |title=Interview with Alexey Pajitnov and Henk Rogers on Tetris |url=https://www.destructoid.com/interview-with-alexey-pajitnov-and-henk-rogers-on-tetris-135296.phtml |website=Destructoid |access-date=15 May 2020 |language=en |date=8 June 2009 |archive-date=9 November 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201109041403/https://www.destructoid.com/interview-with-alexey-pajitnov-and-henk-rogers-on-tetris-135296.phtml |url-status=dead }}</ref>

A [[Game Boy]] version of ''Tetris Attack'' was released in 1996. Two years later, in 1998, a special version of ''Panel de Pon'' was broadcast through the [[Satellaview]] peripheral for the [[Super Famicom]] in Japan, renamed ''BS Panel de Pon – Event '98'' as part of a contest by [[St. GIGA]]. ''Tetris Attack'' was later released for the Satellaview the same year, renamed ''BS Yoshi no Panepon''. The original ''Panel de Pon'' was digitally re-released for the Japanese [[Wii Virtual Console]] on November 27, 2007. It was later added to the [[Nintendo Classics]] service on May 20, 2020.<ref name="Kotaku2020">{{cite web | url = https://kotaku.com/four-more-games-added-to-nintendo-switch-online-1843470350 | title = Four More Games Added To Nintendo's Switch Online Library | first = Luke | last = Plunkett | date = May 14, 2020 | access-date = May 14, 2020 | work = [[Kotaku]] | archive-date = March 27, 2023 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20230327160402/https://kotaku.com/four-more-games-added-to-nintendo-switch-online-1843470350 | url-status = live }}</ref>
