Starting work on recording request[edit]

Hey there! I'm new to Wikipedia editing, but I wanted to try and honor the request for an audio version of this page. If there are no objections, I'll start work on writing the script and recording by sections. This page has been stable (by my cursory glance of the page over the past couple months, at least), so I figured now was as good a time as any to get started. If there are any edits to this page, or if you think I shouldn't work on this particular request, let me know.

September '89 Release?[edit]

The article cites Electronic Gaming Monthly Issue 3 page 68 as its source for the July 31st release date, but the page makes no mention of the device's release date. Only its upcoming lineup. Nintendo Power Issue 7 page 84 has a teaser for the Game Boy and states it "should start appearing on store shelves in early September." The September issue of the magazine covers the handheld and its launch title, Tetris. This leads me to think the Game Boy's actual US release date is sometime in September of 1989. Are there any sources backing the July 31st, 1989 date currently in the article?

£69.99 UK introductory price dubious[edit]

The source claimed for that is "Argos catalogue 1990" but it's actually the Autumn/Winter 1991 Argos catalogue. It's entirely possible that nearly a year after the Game Boy's late 1990 release, there was a price reduction from a higher price (such as £99.99). Anamyd (talk) 15:20, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
