The first prototype didn't fit inside of the unit, and to be functional the handheld had to be connected by an external cable to the breadboard hidden under the booth table.

Seeing this, Amid-Hozour founded Palmtex on March 22, 1982, which became the first company to distribute Nintendo consoles in the US. The handhelds distributed by the company were

The console was finally made available through mail order, costing $ 39.95 for the Super Micro, $ 14.95 for each game and $ 19.95 for the LightPak. A Deluxe Pack cost $ 59.95, including the console with the light-box and a game.
