Mega Man 5:

The German version back of box says "1995 Nintendo Co., Ltd." (https://www.mobygames.com/game/5108/mega-man-5/cover/group-31452/cover-84560/), The France (as well as The Netherlands) version back of box says "1994 Nintendo Co., Ltd." (https://www.mobygames.com/game/5108/mega-man-5/cover/group-102007/cover-277346/), while the Scandinavia version says "1993 Nintendo Co., Ltd." (https://www.tradera.com/item/340700/614646130/nintendo-8-bits-spel-), isn't that German and France/The Netherlands versions did came out later years true? I found every internet sources, most of them says November 18, 1993, only the Wikipedia says March 10, 1993, if release dates are 1994 for France and The Netherlands, and 1995 for German are true, I will submit corrections for them later.

Mega Man III:

Just like Mega Man 5 on the NES, the PAL versions' back box says "1994 Nintendo Co., Ltd.", rather than 1993 from title screen.

Mega Man IV:

Since this is the first game in the series to be published by Laguna Video Games (as they appears on the front box and cartridge label), most of internet sources (Including Wikipedia, and MobyGames here) says 1993 (according to the game's booting up copyright screen), one of the less known database, Ultimate Game Boy Database, discovered the box was actually printed in 1995.

Mega Man V:

Same as previous one, published by Laguna Video Games, aside from Game Boy Database, there is also a database from the website RF Generation, the actual release year says 1996.
