Introduction

Issue 61’s main focus was on the release of the Gamecube in Japan and featured the first reviews of the three launch games, Luigi’s Mansion, Wave Race: Blue Storm and Super Monkey Ball. They all got decent scores, with Wave Race the best of the bunch at 91%. Over in Planet Game Boy they gave the superb Advance Wars Five Stars.

They also went into more detail on some of the games from Spaceworld, such as Soul Calibur 2, Zelda and Pikmin. They also had a special investigation on Resident Evil, as they visited Capcom to take a good look at the remaster of the original game.

At the back of the magazine, they looked at the Gamecube’s interface, as well as investigating what might be in store for us within Mario Sunshine. They also looked at the making of Mario 64, and a brief history of the history of The Legend of Zelda.
