EON Gaming

What EON Gaming does

EON Gaming is a privately held, bootstrapped US consumer-electronics company founded in early 2018 and operated by a team of three people. The company designs and sells proprietary plug-and-play HDMI adapters that connect original retro gaming consoles — Nintendo GameCube (DOL-001), Nintendo 64 (NTSC and PAL), and the original Microsoft Xbox — to modern HDTVs without hardware modifications or external power. Its product line consists of the GCHD MK-II ($159.99, four color variants), the patent-pending Super 64 ($159.99, with a proprietary 'Slick Mode' image-enhancement feature), and the XBHD / XBHD Spartan Edition ($149.99, supporting 480p/720p/1080i plus integrated LAN ports). Distribution is direct-to-consumer through the company's own e-commerce storefront at eongaming.tech, supplemented by Amazon and a network of specialty retro-gaming retailers (Castlemania Games, GamesConnection, StoneAgeGamer, ZedLabz, Retro Island Gaming, Bitjump Games) covering the US and UK. Revenue is generated exclusively through one-time hardware sales at fixed price points, with no subscription component or recurring revenue stream.
