I believe it was released on the C64 a couple days before Halloween and then on the NES and every where else shortly there after so yeah, just before Christmas.
But I mean that was just a common thing for the early to mid 80s when it came to videogames. Just get something out before the holidays with a hot franchise on the box and who gives a rats ass what the game is about or if it’s even any good. it’ll sell.

I suspect the master system version was slightly better than the NES, as the stairs part wasn’t a stupid “mash A and B while being completely defenseless”, you only controlled 1 dude and could shoot the ghosts, and it wasn’t 20 actual fucking flights of stairs, though the music was the exact same from start to end.
