Awesome!!!! Really awesome!!! This is gonna be a killer ap online for the Wii!!!

It's not mentioned in this press release but previews said the game would have a story mode where you need to rescue your miis and also you'd be able to play online with friends even if they don't own the game like Dr. Mario and many DS games. That excites me more than the 8 player online stuff

So just 1 has to buy the game and the rest can play?? that's even more awesome.. that's

Looks cool, hopefully it'll be better than previous Bomberman games.
