I spotted this today while browsing through the Nintendo information book at work today, that our reps from Nintendo give us that gives all those employees who know nothing about Nintendo the information they need to appear knowledgeable on the subject. This was listed on the information page relating to Super Mario Galaxy. It’s not an old page, our Nintendo book was updated just recently, and another small Galaxy advertisement in our store also reads November 14th as the release date. They’re likely wrong, but it makes me wonder what’s going on in the heads of those that make up these things. Is the Canadian release date different than the American one? Is it just our chain? I know some Canadian stores advertise the release date as the day after the official one, just to make sure that they’ll have it in stock, since the games rarely arrive ON the release day, but 2 days after it? On my searching across the internet, I found no other reference to a November 14th release date, anywhere, leading me to confirm my suspicions with myself that this is just some weird mistake.

Still, I find it incredibly bizarre that both a Nintendo-printed advertisement for Galaxy would say the 14th, and the official information page about Galaxy also reads the 14th. Have I gone mad?
