Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest: Difference between revisions
Per talk page, earlier sources give a different December date for the US than the phantom November one that popped up online and conspiciously shares its "one day before Japanese launch" date (because time zones I guess) used often in unsourced game dates around this time. I do not believe it. EGM has a specific day of the month, so using that. At least Super Mario Bros. and maybe Donkey Kong Country 3 should be reopened as well.
