Is the date for Brazilian release a typo, or are there conflicting dates? As TecToy's blog gives a date of September 4th. http://www.tectoy.com.br/tecblog/?p=359 Also SMS released at different dates across Europe, as early as 1986 in Italy and Germany, should we have separate details for each country, or just use the first country it released in EU? --Pirate Dragon 06:10, 11 June 2012 (CDT)

Ideally we should have it for each country individually. One of the major problems with the internet when it comes to video game dates is that many sites (including Wikipedia which was a foundation for many of these articles) just treat "EUROPE" as one big region, when in reality the concept of "European" release dates didn't emerge until the mid-90s.
Release dates in general are a pain to manage. Dates are often likely to be wrong just down to human error (or unrecorded delays), and of course there are often many different models of consoles which shipped at different dates (often in different bundles) which we should really be recording somewhere. I don't know what the long-term solution for that is though -Black Squirrel 09:30, 11 June 2012 (CDT)


Just to settle things: Brazil never got the FM Sound Unit or built-in FM sound, correct? - Andlabs 03:59, 14 June 2012 (CDT)
