This week, we return with a ton of GameCube love as we present issue 63 of NGC Magazine from January 2002 to you.
We begin with the cover story, namely the Japanese review for Pikmin.
Next up we look at the review for Extreme G3 by Acclaim, as well as another racing game published by Acclaim but created by Sega, the incredible Crazy Taxi.
The final review in this issue is a huge 10 page article for Star Wars Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader by Factor 5.
And last but not least, we look back at the Nintendo 64 with the making of Rogue Squadron.

Another great video by Modern Vintage Gamer (MVG) on YouTube, old members here at EurAsia probably remember him as Lantus. I'm a bit late with the news about this one, but still worth a mention. Quote: 'Released in 2001, the Nintendo GameCube was Nintendo's first console to have an optical drive. In this episode we take a deep dive in the security of the GameCube and how it was defeated by both Soft-modding and Hard-modding techniques.'
