Development began at some point in 1983 when Gunpei Yokoi suggested Yoshio Sakamoto to make a game "focused on giving players a sense of floating through space that also has fighting elements."<ref>[https://www.nintendo.com/nes-classic/balloon-fight-developer-interview/ Interview with Yoshio Sakamoto, director of Balloon Fight]</ref> Two versions were developed around the same time: The arcade version titled ''{{s|nintendowiki|VS. Balloon Fight}}'', released in November of 1984, and an NES version simply titled ''{{s|wikipedia|Balloon Fight}}'', released in January of 1985. The game was a critical and financial success, with both the arcade and home console versions each receiving several ports and rereleases to this day.
