A late sports cart that sits well below the library median on price and suits football fans.
Madden NFL 2002 on the Nintendo 64 was developed by Budcat Creations and published by EA Sports, and came out in North America in September 2001. It was one of the last releases for the system, and the N64 and PlayStation versions include a slightly modified copy of John Madden Football 93 as an extra, with an updated roster because of licensing issues.
John Madden and Pat Summerall provide the commentary. The game was a runner-up for best Nintendo 64 game in GameSpot's annual awards.
What the press said at the time
“After last year’s impressive Madden debut on the PS2 and the lack of any must-have additions to this 2002 N64 version, you'd be much better served saving the money you would have spent on this cart”
Before you buy
Low fake risk, and the US cart is cheap: it sits well below the library median on price, even though N64 games released in 2001 tend to cost more. The game saves to a Controller Pak, not the cartridge, so budget for one; the Rumble Pak is optional. A complete copy costs several times the loose price.
