About the Ninja Gaiden Trilogy:
Ninja Gaiden (series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The original Ninja Gaiden, a platformer, was released in Japan on December 9, 1988, in the United States in March, 1989, and in Europe on August 15, 1991. A ninja named Ryu Hayabusa finds a letter by his recently missing father, Ken, telling him to go to America and and meet with an archaeologist Dr. Smith, Smith tells Ryu that 2 statues hidden by Ryu's father and the doctor have the power to end the world - if united. Ryu ends up in South America and battles Jaquio, the evil mastermind responsible for the attack on Ken Hayabusa.
*Gasp!* It even says 1988!

Castlevania (as
Akumajou Dracula) was released in 1986, not 1987.
There are two versions of
Super Mario Bros. 2. The American version is called
Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels and the Japanese version is called
Super Mario Bros. 2, which was released in Japan in 1986... not 1988. But then again, another version of both games: the American version is called
Super Mario Bros. 2 and the Japanese version is called
Yume Koujou - Doki Doki Panic, which was released in Japan in 1987, not 1988.
Castlevania II: Simon's Quest (as

Akumajou Densetsu) was released in 1989, not 1990.
StarTropics was never released (or intended to be released) in Japan.
Punch-Out!! was released in 1987, not 1990. It was later released in America as the version without Mike Tyson in 1990. Technically, the Mike Tyson version wasn't released in Japan.
Yoshi's Cookie (as
Yoshi no Cookie) was released in 1992, not 1991.
Wario's Woods (as
Wario no Mon) was released in 1994, not 1992.

So, this time... you got 16 wrong. I guess you either don't know or didn't research your Japanese NES (or Famicom) history.
