83 was a good year.
Ultima 3, arguably one of the best of the series, as well as the original PC release of Nobunaga's Ambition and the first Bomberman.

but I am that weird blend of hipster and autist that means MULE is right up my alley. This is probably a more fashionable choice these days that it would have been even 5 years ago.

Because they needed a Mario 2 by 1988 at latest. It would take at least until 1989 to get Mario 3 finished, and waiting four years after the original would be a horrible business decision.

Thus, Mario 2 in '88, a preview for Mario 3 in '89 with The Wizard, and finally the big release in '90. They really did go the wisest route in waiting.

It was. Incidentally, the original game was released simultaneous with LoZ, but the latter was considered the "big" 1987 release, just as DKC was the big 94 release as Nintendo has always considered Metroid a 2nd-tier series ranking behind Shiggy's and Rareware's games in importance.

> implying I was referring to games in general

Seriously though, I'm talking about games within a single franchise: SMB, SMB2 and SMB3 weren't released months after one another. Likewise with Zelda and Metroid. Because the games were initially released in the US a couple years after the Japanese release, there was no way to release them without saturating the market. Thus, games were perpetually behind Japan's release.

No, that's what you get for choosing a shitty list.

Also, note that it's not even a close to comprehensive list due to the fact that home computers had a lot of 'homebrew' or self published shit that got lost.
