Ohayo!

Spaceworld begins Thursday, and we're gearing up for the big show. Justin Wood, and myself will be kickin' it live from Japan this year. We'll also have a couple new staff members in tow to help us report live from the Makuhari Messe. We'd like to welcome Kelly Starr, Joe Fletcher, and a new secret weapon that is yet to be disclosed.

No, it's not Louie the Cat. He's not too fond of countries that eat his own kind.

I'm out of here in just a few hours. Our staff has got some really cool stuff in store for you in the next couple of days. Stay tuned to Planet GameCube for all the Spaceworld 2001 coverage you need!
