::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.

:::I still can't safely think that that's the real release date. After all, that alt text doesn't even look very definitive (December with a lowercase D?). It could also be their initial projected release date, but then there was a change of plans and the game released on the 2nd. All of that said, at the end of the day, this is absolutely the most official source we have. I also guess it would make little sense for them to plan the 3rd and then launch it one day earlier (one day later due to setbacks sure, but one day sooner is a bit nonsense), and launching a game on a Sunday is a bit of a bad move too. I guess the 3rd is the real release date after all, and now Pikipedia, with the best sources available to it, is documenting it factually. Great job, King! — '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 07:06, 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.
