Nintendo's [https://web.archive.org/web/20101221005931/http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/gameslist/manuals/nes_games.pdf NES release chart] states that the North American release was July 1987, but the ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' [[smashwiki:Chronicle|Chronicle]] instead has the date August 1987. There are some non-Nintendo online sources that claim a date of August 22, 1987, but in my experience, no one seriously catalogued street dates (not even stores) until around the year 2000, and a lot of websites cite each other's dates and can be traced to a fan-submission that doesn't match what contemporary magazines and the like stated at the time. I've even seen companies resort to using fan-submitted dates: for example, Sega Retro lists the dates for ''[https://segaretro.org/Castlevania:_Bloodlines Castlevania: Bloodlines]'' with proper references, but on the [https://www.konami.com/games/castlevania/ Konami website] recently, they used unsourced dates from elsewhere (GameFAQs, Wikipedia, etc.). So between Nintendo's page and Nintendo's game, which is more reliable? I'm leaning towards the former, but should we list both dates?

:Yeah list either dates and perhaps a footnote that its release date is ambiguous [[User:Results May Vary|Results May Vary]] ([[User talk:Results May Vary|talk]]) 19:34, 1 June 2019 (UTC) | :Yeah list either dates and perhaps a footnote that its release date is ambiguous [[User:Results May Vary|Results May Vary]] ([[User talk:Results May Vary|talk]]) 19:34, 1 June 2019 (UTC) | ||
