A boxing game from EA with a big roster, priced well below the library median.
Knockout Kings 2000 was developed by Black Ops Entertainment and published by EA Sports. The N64 cart reached North America and the PAL regions in October 1999, and it is known as Box Champions 2000 in Germany.
GameFan's July 1999 preview promised upwards of fifty boxers in both the PlayStation and N64 versions, along with a classic battle mode. Reviews were mixed: GamePro's Air Hendrix praised it in one write-up as a true title contender and turned cooler on it in another.

Before you buy
Low fake risk, and the US cart sits well below the library median on price. PAL copies cost more than US ones, about half again as much loose and over three times as much complete. The game saves to a Controller Pak, so budget for one; the Expansion Pak and Rumble Pak are both optional extras.
