Btw, if anyone wasn't following the threads where it was mentioned on Hudson Soft's Hive forum, Neogaf, or read it elsewhere, it seems that you can play 8 players locally on Bomberman Blast. Using 4 wiimotes and 4 gamecube pads the awesome is yours to enjoy. Some blogger in PAL Land named Animal Crossing Italia I guess took the shot below of the ability and others have verified it.
This is beyond awesome. Also elsewhere it is reported that you can go online with 5 players locally and allow 3 guests from somewhere online to play with you as well as the crazy awesome of local multiplayer and single player online action. Teams AND 8 players locally/online. Hell yeah!
