Furthermore three sources is generally unnecessary for a single sentence; two references at the most is the standard. Keep in mind that discrepancies in the sources is a common thing when its comes to the release month of old NES games in North America and it often happens in the case of months that are adjacent to each other.).

The game was profiled in the November–December 1988 issue of Nintendo Power and slated for a December 1988 release in North America;[1][2] however, it was delayed to February 1989.[3][4]Template:Efn
