FE Gaiden Release Date: 1991?

[IkeBoyDude]

hi all,

um on my PSP I'm playing FE Gaiden w/English patch on Nes emu,

and I have a question to ask:

 

I saw that the screen of the game's release date before menu select says 

"1991", 

but according to sirens and FE wiki the release date of FE Gaiden was in "1992"

and not 1991? 

or can my version of the game have the wrong release date? 

 

this is for FE gaiden,

FE 1 was released in 1990, so FE Gaiden is like 1/2 years after it? 

Thanx

idk maybe the translation patch messed up and no one noticed

I don't know the story, but it's possible Gaiden was finished in 1991 and they merely decided to ship it out in 1992.

For instance, I am pretty confident Echoes was finished by late 2016 (according to some in-game files).

The difference is that Gaiden may have been delayed without notice to the development team, while Echoes was always planned to release in 2017, hence the 2017 in the title screen.

hmm, intersting, if garden was finished in "1991" that's awesome to have the release date as "1991".

even if it wasn't. 

 

in any case this is pretty cool to have/see each time I boot up the game. heheheh
