We were all working very long hours for a very long time, and the last year or so is pretty much a big, tired blur in my memory. :) I may have it wrong that it was only a couple of months before we finished that the title changed. On the other hand, we're talking about the days of cartridges and much stricter certification processes, so the period between going gold and getting on the shelves was much longer than it is now for disc-based games that can patch over the internet. I'm pretty sure we first submitted to cert in summer. It was usually 2-4 weeks waiting in the cert queue, and then a month or two for manufacturing. That's the best I can remember. Regardless of exactly when, it was pretty late in the 2.5-year process when the name was changed.

Oh well, what can you do? What gets me is both the early white text bar “Beta” and the later gold bar “Prerelease” look better than the awful final bar in those shots. Oh well, what can you do?

Fehdrau has trouble remembering stuff sometimes, so maybe that's inaccurate; perhaps it's e.g. two months before the beta-testers got it, raher than two months before it was signed off as ready for release.
