This page details prerelease information and/or media for Hatris (NES).
EGM, April 1990
A small preview for the NES version Hatris was featured in the April 1990 issue of EGM, slated for an October 1990 release. While the game did release in Japan on July 6th, 1990, the NES version didn't come out until April 1992. The screenshots featured are from an earlier version of what would be the Japanese version.

- The "Hatris" logo appears to have a slight drop shadow.
- The final Japanese title screen has text alternating between the words "Press Start Button!". The early screenshot shows just "Press Key!" with an empty space, so it's possible it also had a similar alternating pattern.
- Alexey's face was redrawn and the field was yellow.

- The playfield is completely different, but more closely resembles the Japanese version.
