Press release:
WESTFIELD, NJ – July 22, 2019 – The EON Super 64, the first-of-its-kind, plug-and-play solution connecting the Nintendo 64 with modern televisions and monitors, is available now at CastleMania Games, Amazon, and other retail partners.
EON, the creators of the acclaimed GCHD and GCHD Mk-II, upscales N64 classics by delivering gorgeous 480p — double the N64’s native resolution — and truly lagless input with the EON Super 64.
The optional “Slick Mode” even smooths jagged edges, making classics look sharper than ever. EON delivers the first device that respects the original hardware without risky modifications and external power sources.
Connect the N64 to a high-definition TV via HDMI and forego heavy CRT televisions and risky console modifications, unlocking a pure retro experience. EON’s attention to detail provides an elegant, modern solution for the 32.9 million N64s sold that are unable to play on today’s displays.
With reverence for the Nintendo hardware legacy, EON designed the Super 64 as a natural extension of the console itself by following the N64’s design aesthetic. The Super 64 looks like it was always meant to be there.
“Because the Nintendo 64 impacted our lives and the lives of so many others, honoring the original hardware with a look and quality level to match was crucial,” said Justin Chou, Justin Scerbo, and Allan Chou, founders of EON.
“We designed the Super 64 to bring our favorite games to modern TVs, and not just be playable, but beautiful. We hope our device lives up to your memories.”
The EON Super 64 is now available in North America for $149.99 USD on Amazon, CastleMania Games, and other EON retail partners. Check out EON’s mission and quality standards on their website and celebrate the N64 with them on Twitter.
