Mario Party 7 doubles the fun

Mario Party 7 has a couple new interesting features that might spur some excitement for the game. This time around 8 people can join the fun instead of 4. Apparently with an 8 person game, players will share a controller. Other then that, there were no specifics on how this would function, but it should be interesting to see how it plays out. Also doubling the fun, this time there will be 2 new playable characters in the game, Birdo and Dry Bones. I may have to pick up this game just for Birdo, simply because Birdo ROCKS!
