• curprev 13:5613:56, 16 July 2024 SnorlaxMonster talk contribs 31,734 bytes +1,698 →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. undo
• curprev 12:2812:28, 16 July 2024 SnorlaxMonster talk contribs 30,036 bytes +561 →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. undo
• curprev 12:0512:05, 16 July 2024 SnorlaxMonster talk contribs 29,475 bytes +216 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). undo
• curprev 11:2611:26, 16 July 2024 SnorlaxMonster talk contribs 29,259 bytes −34 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. undo

"Now no longer being bundled with the system by default" is false, as if Deluxe System was discontinued. Kent is again offtopic rambling about the company and not Zapper. Revert the war against English sentences that was launched to fix the fact that they're sentences, wow. There was no problem, especially awkwardness, until that. "Nintendo" is collective singular.
