Hi, I am seeing a lot of disagreeing info on the internet about this game's release date. The release date for the North American release on the NES on this page says it is June 15, 1986. I haven't had any luck proving that by searching online. The most specific source I could find confirms the month but not down to the day. | Hi, I am seeing a lot of disagreeing info on the internet about this game's release date.

Does anyone have any info that may help push me in the right direction?

:For the record, the NA [[smashwiki:Chronicle|Chronicle]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' doesn't show the exact date either, and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mdIg-m69Bo Masterpieces] in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' shows an ''entirely different'' date of 9/9/1988 (compare [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sGUS8MI_fM JP] - though I'm not sure if that is supposed to be the NA date as the Masterpiece dates apparently don't change in EU text, unless I'm mistaken). English ''Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia'' also claims that the US release date is 6.15.1986, but the release dates are currently an under-scrutinized part of the book and Dark Horse's "encyclopedias" have been known to mess that up too.

I figured I'd put this here since it mostly concerns ''Donkey Kong'' arcade games. According to [https://archive.org/details/ArcadeGameList1971-2005/page/n57/mode/2up page 57] of アーケードTVゲームリスト国内•海外編(1971-2005), Japanese arcade release dates are as follows: 81/08 for ''Donkey Kong'', 82/08 for ''Donkey Kong Jr.'', 83/10 for ''Donkey Kong 3'', and 83/06 for ''Mario Bros.'' According to [https://archive.org/details/ArcadeGameList1971-2005/page/n129/mode/2up page 128] of the same source, the American arcade release dates are as follows: 81/10 for ''Donkey Kong'', 82/08 for ''Donkey Kong Jr.'', 83/10 for ''Donkey Kong 3'', and 83/03 for ''Mario Bros.'' However, we have currently have unsourced July dates for ''Donkey Kong'', unsourced JP October 21 / NA November dates for ''Donkey Kong 3'', and unsourced JP June 21 / NA July 20 dates for ''Mario Bros.'' (The ''Donkey Kong Jr.'' dates seem to be correct as they have 1982-relevant sources.) Does anyone know where the current dates come from?
