::Thing is, it's more nuanced than that. The user who edited Wikipedia to say the 2nd ''seems'' to know what they're doing, if the European release date is anything to go by. Also I didn't research very heavily, but there might be more sources that claim the 2nd. — '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 17:12, January 5, 2023 (EST) | ::Thing is, it's more nuanced than that.

:Something that may or may not be relevant is that the 2nd was a Sunday and the 3rd was a Monday. — [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 03:35, January 28, 2023 (EST) | :Something that may or may not be relevant is that the 2nd was a Sunday and the 3rd was a Monday. — [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 03:35, January 28, 2023 (EST) | ||
::I discovered the correct release date is actually December 3rd and it comes from an official source. An archive of "Pikmin.com" from October 2001 contains an image (<tt>img_area_5.jpg</tt>) that originally would have advertised the release date, but unfortunately...the image is broken. Thankfully, the image itself contains alt text that states the release date: "coming december 3, 2001". While not 100% correct all the time, MobyGames and IGN's claims of December 3rd were correct in this instance! Mystery solved! Bovineboy2008 caused a lot of misinformation with that edit lol. The main article now contains a proper reference to the correct release date. [[User:King Kerog|King Kerog]] ([[User talk:King Kerog|talk]]) 04:53, May 23, 2023 (EDT) | |||

So in the History section, the article says that the game has 3 regional versions, and that the American version is available in Canadian French and American Spanish, along with English. But i'm pretty sure the American version is only available in English. Maybe someone had the Wii version, and since that version is available in Canadian French and American Spanish, they thought that the Gamecube version had the same languages. {{unsigned|Kebbo}} | So in the History section, the article says that the game has 3 regional versions, and that the American version is available in Canadian French and American Spanish, along with English.
