Wasn't Buster Bros. a 1993 release, not 1992? Also, wasn't the CD version of Bonk 3 released in late 1994, and not along with the cart version in 1993? Wikipedia lists those as you do there, but is certainly wrong about those. Also weren't Fighting Street and Monster Lair released in 1989 along with the system, not in 1990?
Ah, that makes sense. It's just odd because I'd think the Japanese versions would be the originals, so why go in and put an earlier date in the US release? Were they planning to release them in the US first for some reason or something?
On the note of Wikipedia though, I find it odd how they have a TG16-only list, but don't have a Turbo CD-only list, and don't even list the US release dates in the PCE/Turbo CD list -- it's only Japanese release dates, unless the game was US-exclusive. The US dates were often different.
Wikipedia isn't the best source of this information. Also some games actually came out here first, though I don't believe those two to be examples of this.
You're right that it isn't, but are there any good sources for this information other than this forum?
With that said TTI was a very small operation so just manufacturing those games took a lot of their resources. Once they had a finished and tested game it may have taken them 90 days or more to ship, and if there were any unforseen delays that would push it back even more. Remember, lots of games (Battle Lode Runner, Fantasy Star Solider/Star Parodier, Wizardry 1 and 2) were supposed to come out but didn't. They missed a lot of planned release dates.
Good point. They announced lots of titles that never got anywhere... but still, changing the release year on the title screen then delaying it out of that year seems a little odd. Oh well, it happened.
