  • 14:0414:04, 16 July 2024 diff hist +13 History of the Nintendo Entertainment System 1985–1986: North American launch: Computer Entertainer indicates the nationwide launch was in July, not September. vidgame.net appears to be a self-hosted blog, so I think the contemporaneous magazine should be given more weight when evaluating the two sources' reliability.
  • 13:5613:56, 16 July 2024 diff hist +1,698 NES Zapper North America: The AVS prototype was explicitly marketed as a video game system (the Winter CES brochure repeatedly calls it one, in contrast to early NES marketing), just a high-end one. | Duck Hunt and Hogan's Alley had already been ported to Famicom in 1984, Nintendo just leveraged them as marketing for the NES | The NES nationwide launch appears to have been in July rather than June (or later, as shipments were occurring in July), although it was rolled out to major markets before then.

  • 12:2812:28, 16 July 2024 diff hist +561 NES Zapper Reception: Kent is explicitly talking about the same marketing strategy that Kohler is, specifically regarding the New York City launch. The immediately preceding paragraphs in the book are talking about how the Zapper and R.O.B. were some of the key selling points of the system. It disagrees with Kohler, but it's still perfectly valid as an opinion. | Computer Entertainer's reviews are opinion pieces, not reporting. | Correct page number in CE citation.
  • 12:0512:05, 16 July 2024 diff hist +216 NES Zapper Even in the sidescrolling platformers, the Zapper is still used to shoot in-game targets, they're just not shooting gallery-style games. | The Hyper Shot isn't really a clone of the Zapper (at least not when considering it distinct from the Famicom's light gun) | The LaserScope co-promotion seems to have only been a North American thing, not something that occurred in Japan, so the game likely wasn't designed for it (at the very least, the claim that it was is unsupported).
  • 11:2611:26, 16 July 2024 diff hist −34 NES Zapper Captions _can be_ full sentences, but they do not need to be (WP:CAPTION). Frequently (as is very much the case on this article), making them full sentences makes them overly wordy and distracts them from their purpose of explaining what the image shows and why it is relevant. The Deluxe Sighting Scope and Advanced Video System images' full-sentence captions are clear examples of when full sentence captions do not work well.
