That's pretty irrelevant. Nintendo's, and everybody else's, on making game/system launch dates a big thing is meant to drive the hype machine, but this tactic wasn't as widely used back then (for one, there's no evidence there was an enforced "street date," stores just sold the merchandise when they got it).
