Basically any game released before March 1, 1990 will have a TM SoQ. But if they got reprinted/rereleased on or after March 1990 then they *should* have received an update to an (R) except in any cases that Nintendo either forgot or was just too lazy to do so.

There maybe be some outliers on both ends as well (eg the NES has Track & Field 2 as the last circle SoQ game, which was released about 2 or 3 months after the transition to Oval TM seal)

I don’t have a list of release dates for GB, but I think the amount of games released from September 1989 (GB Launch) to March 1990 shouldnt be too massive.

@ThePhleoyou do bring up some non talked about items. for GB  no the cart some area might be an issue due to size and print qty but out o the 100 i just scanned through 2 showed but they were already id as a variant due to a -1 rev bump or "A" not rev bump.  but will need more to determine if this is a real possibility.  thank you for this TMI 

TM vs R on

a) the nintendo
b) in the Game Boy Pac and Link Pak logo
c) the SOQ
d) the Game Boy down the side.

Glad I can bring some of the NES variant hell to the Game Boy.

It will all count eventually! Nintendo is like the hotel California. You can check in anytime you like, but you can never leave.

From the topic: My Game Boy PAL List; by @PrimeNL

TMI:

 what is PAL:

PAL stand for Phase Alternate Line.  ok so this means what really. This is the video format standard used in many European countries. A PAL picture is made up of 625 interlaced lines and is displayed at a rate of 25 frames per second used to broadcast and display video.

So what dose this have to do with Game Boy Games? not at all, not a bit, not the slightest bit, in no way, to no extent, by no means any, not for a moment.

IMO: If you want to get real then use the proper terms.   NTSC/PAL/SECAM when describeing 8 bit Game Boy Games. 

IMO: you just prove how lazy you are on your data / Information.  or you are just another lemming that is following others over the cliff.

  

I'm sorry that I am just reading this now As a European citizen I ofcourse know what PAL is and means. But for me "PAL" stands for countries that used the PAL broadcasting system. Among collectors this term "PAL" has grown into a short acronym to determine the region where a game is from. Just like I will use NTSC-J to say it's a Japanse cart. It has nothing to do with the specs/resolutions whatsoever of the game itself. 

So thanks for your TMI but I think you should talk a little bit more to collectors  Sorry if my English doesn't hold up, nofi, I'm not a native English speaker, or writer.

that just goes to prove my point.
