BootlegGames Wiki / Large amount of specific release date addition
« on: October 25, 2015, 01:53:40 AM »
An anonymous user using single IP(198.24.31.125) added very specific release date for bunch of games about 10 hours ago, and this is quite odd considering most unlicensed games having very unclear history.
Here's one example. This editor stated that Super Maruo was released in December 31, 1986 and I think this makes some sense since Japanese sources also states that Super Maruo was released in December 1986.
Meanwhile, this editor also stated that Sonic 3D Blast 5 for Game Boy was released in April 1, 1999 and this sound quite suspicious to me... As I remember, many multicarts sold in Korean market began to feature the disastrous Sonic game along with Super Mario 4, and that was around 1997-1998. I remember Game Boy Pocket being the newest model of Game Boy at that time, and even Game Boy Light(Japan-exclusive model which was released in April 1998) didn't exist at that time.
Another edit that sounds suspicious is article for Sports Vii. The editor says it is released in December 1st, 2007 but this seems to be false as there are many evidences that Vii was released earlier than that. A chinese article currently linked in BGW's Vii article is written in 10/13/2007, and google searching also shows some Japanese people mentioning its presence before December 2007.
Should I revert these edits? For the rest of the articles I can't figure out whether it is true or not, and I think very few people will be able to confirm it. The anonymous editor is currently blocked so I don't think we can have some talk with him/her about the source.
