Day of Sorrow

Mr Leung will always be remembered as one of the greatest teachers in Wah Yan. To me, what distinguishes Mr Leung is not only his excellence in Physics but also his devotion to truth and justice. Rarely do you come across a teacher who spends time to share his ideals with his students and guide them spiritually. Some may view his lectures on life as controversial, but there is no denying in his passion in teaching and care for students. I am grateful to be taught by Mr Leung for five years, and the advice that he has given us has been most invaluable. Also I am thankful for his trust, even though I am never good at Physics and even dozed off in his lessons sometimes.

The tragedy brings immense grief to all who know Mr Leung, and more so to his family. It must be a hard time for his children, and I hope that they will overcome the tragedy and follow their father's example in pursuing truth and justice.

This doesn't look like a good game at all.......

Smoke Ball

    Items

Smoke Ball

This is an item that has absolutely no effect on characters...but it’s pretty fun.

screenshot

When you hit something with one of these...

screenshot

PSHHHHH! It releases a cloud of colored smoke!

As the cloud forms, it blocks your vision with an effective smoke screen.
If your opponent gets caught in a thick cloud of smoke, it’s a distraction, and if you’re covered in smoke, it’s harder for your opponent to see what moves you’re doing.

screenshot

Hmm... So colorful!

You can even pick up Smoke Balls that are emitting smoke and carry them or throw them. Talk about smoke and mirrors!

screenshot

Cough! Cough!

Ike: Special Moves

    Characters

Ike’s up special move, obviously, is "Aether." And it is ethereal. Oh, yes.



<Up Special Move: Aether>

screenshot

First he throws the sword!

screenshot

Then he leaps after it and catches it in midair!

screenshot

Then he swiftly plunges, slicing the air!

Of special importance is the fact that he is resistant to attacks for a moment right after throwing his sword.

screenshot

He’s not flinching?!

He’s not really invincible—he still takes damage. But he won’t flinch in the slightest.

This time, there are several moves like this among the heavy characters, so watch out!

Oh, he also has this special move...



<Standard Special Move: Eruption>

screenshot

His standard special move is called Eruption!
You can even charge this one up.

Smashville

    Stages

Wait a second... Is this...an Animal Crossing stage?! And the name...well... Go ahead and poke fun if you must.

screenshot

This should be a familiar sight to Animal Crossing fans.

It’s very clearly the world of Animal Crossing—even the changing scenery of day and night is determined by the Wii’s internal clock.

screenshot

This is not the relaxing pace of any small town I know...

screenshot

Hmm, it sure is dark.

And what do you think of all those guests hanging out? There sure are a lot. It’s like they all came to watch the big event.

screenshot

And look, there’s the busy barista, serving coffee to the spectators.

But there’s more...

If you play a match here on Saturday at 8PM...

Oh, I’m too excited to even say it!

screenshot

That’s right, a live performance. It’s a good time to be alive...


Deoxys

    Items

Deoxys

Now, this one is popular. This is Deoxys, a DNA Pokémon. It appears on command from a Poké Ball!

screenshot

When Deoxys appears, it hovers gently in the air.

screenshot

It slowly turns around...

screenshot

And unleashes Hyper Beam!

Hyper Beam is truly awe-inspiring. I’d avoid it at all costs, if I were you.

Samus: Final Smash

    Characters

<Zero Laser>

Don’t fire! Do NOT fire that laser!

Why? ...Well, because it really hurts!

screenshot

MAXIMUM CHARGE!

screenshot

Now, fire! Whoa, that’s huge!

That weapon is extremely powerful. Her opponents’ damage meters skyrocket!

...But afterward, Samus has a problem.

screenshot

All of her armor fell off!

screenshot

Now she’s just Zero Suit Samus.

That really was her last trump card. She used a weapon so powerful, it destroyed her Power Suit.

Now it’s time for Zero Suit Samus to show what she can do.

It looks like you can throw the pieces of her suit that end up on the ground.

Hey. Stop that... QUIT IT! I mean it!

screenshot

Take that!

Zero Suit Samus

    Characters
Zero Suit Samus

When Samus destroys her Power Suit, she’s left with the Zero Suit. What she’s lost in power and weaponry, she makes up for in speed!

Once she turns that Paralyzer in her hand into a whip, she has quite a long reach as well! Not exactly the straightforward fight you thought it was, huh?

screenshot screenshot
screenshot screenshot

This World...

    Game Modes

screenshot

In this world, trophies fight.

screenshot

screenshot

screenshot

They know nothing but fighting. Fighting is the sole reason for their existence.

screenshot

Being turned back into a trophy, being unable to fight, is much like death.

screenshot

screenshot

screenshot

Those are the rules of this world.

screenshot

But...

screenshot

When someone...or something...breaks those rules, the world will pay a terrible price...



screenshot



Rumble Falls

    Stages

This stage is based on the look and feel of Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat, which was played using the DK Bongos.

The key here is to keep climbing up and up.

screenshot

The tropical setting is quite nice.

The screen slowly scrolls upward, so if you don’t want to get left behind, you’d better get to climbing. Oh, and don’t forget to pummel your opponents on the way.

screenshot

You’re climbing up, but the water keeps flowing
down, down, down.

The screen’s constantly changing, so it’s fun just to watch, too.

screenshot

The top of the waterfall isn’t the top! Keep climbing!

Hey! What’s at the top? Huh?

Hmm...I wonder...

Yoshi

    Characters
Yoshi

Yoshi’s back and bursting with personality! He can launch consecutive attacks and even smack around enemies below him mid-flight.

Among other things, he can now use his up special move, the Egg Toss, to increase the distance of his jump. That’s enough to earn him a hearty welcome, isn’t it?

screenshot screenshot
screenshot screenshot

Skyworld

    Stages

Behold the Kid Icarus stage! You can go ahead and call it Pit’s home turf if you like.

screenshot

From a distance you can see the temple and its surroundings.

The floor’s crumbling construction makes it easy to shatter...

screenshot

It feels great to break it!

Not having a floor does increase the danger factor, though. Why? Because it’s a long way down, that’s why!

screenshot

Look out below!

Mastering this element is one key to gaining the upper hand. The floor quickly regenerates, so it’s important to keep your eyes on it.

Footstool Jump

    How to Play

What the heck is a Footstool Jump?!

Well, it’s a cool technique. Basically, you step on your opponent and jump off!

That’s it!

screenshot

Jump! Now press the jump button with perfect timing...

screenshot

Boing!

screenshot

And then you jummmmmmmmp!

Using your enemy’s spine like a spring to launch you into the air
is pretty fun.

What? You say it doesn’t have much strategic value?

No, no, no. That’s hardly the case.

screenshot

You can use it to perform Meteor Smashes! Incredible!



Knuckle Joe

    Items

Knuckle Joe

When talking about the guaranteed hard hitter of Kirby’s world, you’ve got to say something about his fists!

screenshot

Knuckle Joe appears!

screenshot

Vulcan Jab!

A storm of Vulcan Jabs rain down, and then Knuckle Joe can finish his foes off with one of the following two special moves!

screenshot

Smash Punch!

screenshot

Rising Break!

He’s... He’s strong. He’s been doing some extreme training, I think.

Donkey Kong: Final Smash

    Characters

<Konga Beat>

As you might expect from Donkey Kong, his Final Smash is something...upbeat. That’s right, he’s breaking out the DK Bongos!

screenshot

Taa-daah!

And...DUM DOO DUM DUMMM!

It’s cool to just pound on them, but why not listen to the music that’s playing? Press buttons in time to the beat to really get things hopping.

screenshot

1, 2, 3...dum, doo, dum dum!

screenshot

Now clap! Clappity clap clap!

Feel the rhythm and increase the power! T-t-take it easy, will ya!

screenshot

And finish!

DK’s invulnerable while in the middle of this move, so take it easy and enjoy the moment.

Oh, and jamming during screen scrolls and such is something you might want to...think about.

Pitfall

    Items

Pitfall

This item appeared in the game Animal Crossing. Bury it in the ground and it becomes a trap. If you love playing tricks on others, this item can’t be beat.

screenshot

When you throw a Pitfall at the ground...

screenshot

It vanishes!

screenshot

When someone touches it, PLUNK!

Now’s your chance. You can’t help but grin.

Incidentally, it also has an effect if you simply hit someone with it instead of setting it in the ground.

screenshot

If you get hit by a Pitfall, you’ll drop through pass-through floors!

Getting thoroughly fooled by a trap like this... It’s pretty humiliating.

Ike

    Characters
Ike

From Fire Emblem, Ike appears! The fact that he can wield a two-handed sword with a single hand is a testament to his magnificent strength.

He brings his special move "Aether" with him as he crashes the Brawl party. Try for a single-stroke finishing blow with his mighty blade!

screenshot screenshot
screenshot screenshot

Castle Siege

    Stages

This stage represents the Fire Emblem world.

It’s an enemy castle in the midst of battle—but it’s not set in a particular castle, nor is it from a particular game in the series.

screenshot

It’s taking heavy fire, huh?

There are plenty of scenes like this throughout the Fire Emblem series, aren’t there? So imagine it however you choose.

screenshot

Fireballs launched by catapults dance in the skies above the castle. Then, as time passes...

screenshot

The floor shatters and everyone falls into the castle!

See the stone statues in the throne room? You can break them to bits.

screenshot

Down it goes!

Oh, but it doesn’t end here.

screenshot

Quick! To the underground!

What’s the underground like? You can look forward to finding out later.

What is the Subspace Emissary?

  Movie Game Modes

Super Smash Bros. Brawl: Adventure Mode The Subspace Emissary



Super Smash Bros. Brawl: The Subspace Emissary is a robust side-scrolling action game!



- This is the Subspace Emissary! -

More than anything, Smash Bros. is a competitive action game. People have been kind enough to praise its multiplayer, but we’ve never been able to create a fully fleshed out single-player game.

This time, though, we’ve managed to create a complete side-scrolling action game. It’s storyline isn’t overwrought—it’s hastened along by a bunch of quick movies.


screenshot screenshot

screenshot screenshot


The Adventure mode also emphasizes character development. You’ll see many famous characters persevering under the weight of their personal histories, shouldering their unique burdens... It’s really something you won’t see anywhere else.


Movie link


With so many wonderful characters appearing together, it’s like a dream action game. We’re putting tons of fighting spirit into making this game, so I hope you’re all looking forward to it.

Oh, and this is all included in the same Game Disc, so rest easy.

Wii Fit

The active-play phenomenon started by Wii Sports now spreads to your whole body thanks to the pressure-sensitive Wii Balance Board (name not final), which comes packed with Wii Fit. The board is used for an extensive array of fun and dynamic activities, including aerobics, yoga, muscle stretches and games. Many of these activities focus towards providing a "core" workout, a popular exercise method that emphasizes slower, controlled motions. Family members will have fun staying active and talking about and comparing their results and progress on a new channel on the Wii Menu.

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption

Truly feel what it is to be the bounty hunter behind the visor.

  • Players become Samus with the Wii controls. By moving around with the Nunchuk and aiming Samus’ gun with the Wii Remote, players do more than look through the eyes of Samus – they experience a quantum leap in first-person control. Fire on the run, grapple enemies and yank off their shields or manipulate machinery with movements of the Nunchuk and Wii Remote – it all adds up to a level of immersion only possible on Wii, and the best first-person controls on any platform, period.
  • Corruption is everywhere ... Dark Samus, Samus’ longtime nemesis, is corrupting entire planets by launching enormous seeds called Leviathans into them. Samus must travel to multiple planets – each with unique alien landscapes and dangers –to prevent the planets from being completely corrupted, all the while fighting the spreading Phazon that threatens to take over her body completely. As it corrupts her, it also grants her incredible powers.
  • Enter Hypermode! Samus employs a never-before-used device called a Phazon Enhancement Device (PED) that harnesses the Phazon within her and puts her into a state called Hypermode. In Hypermode, Samus can destroy Phazon impediments and annihilate enemies with superpowered weapons ... but it drains her health to use it. If she doesn’t empty her Phazon meter within a certain time frame she risks utter corruption under the control of Dark Samus. Players need to carefully balance their need for ultimate power with the inherent danger of corruption.

Mario Strikers Charged

The captains from Super Mario Strikers are back, joined by four new ones, and now players can create their own original teams by mixing and matching their captain with a new cast of sidekicks. All characters have their own sets of special abilities, making each one play completely differently from the others. New captain super-abilities and sidekick skill-shots add a new level of depth to already crazy soccer battles on the most unpredictable and hazard-filled pitches in the Mario universe. Each field features its own set of interactive hazards that alter game play during the course of the game.

  • There are tons of new single-player modes, from tournaments to challenges to tutorials, but the game truly shines in multiplayer. The game features a robust multiplayer mode: Up to four players can battle locally, or they can go on Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection (by themselves or with a friend) to compete with friends and rivals.
  • Building on the frantic fun of Super Mario Strikers, this game gets players into action only possible on Wii. Primary game-play controls use both the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers. Players use the Nunchuk to control their characters and deploy items. Flick the Wii Remote to perform the defensive “Big Hit” move and flatten foes. To defend against a “Mega Strike” goal attempt, use the Wii Remote to point at the screen and manually defend against multiple balls as they rocket toward the screen.

Mario Kart Wii (name not final)

The new version of Mario Kart, due in early 2008, features new vehicles and lets players near and far compete using Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, Nintendo’s wireless gaming service. Mario Kart launches with the Wii Wheel (name not final), a steering wheel housing for the Wii Remote that brings new controls and challenges for veteran gamers, while making getting into a race easy and intuitive for newcomers.
