The latest Nintendo Direct showcased some exciting new releases, including DC Super Hero Girls: Teen Power. The game allows fans to play as some of the most iconic heroes in the DC universe, and it's set to arrive on Nintendo Switch this summer. Here's everything fans should know about DC Super Hero Girls: Teen Power's playable characters before the game arrives.
DC Super Hero Girls is a popular animated series already, so it's not too surprising that a video game is on the way. The game is being published by Nintendo, so it's unclear at this point if that means it's exclusive to the Switch or if Nintendo is simply handling the publishing duties for this version of the game (which it's done a lot in the past). The reveal trailer for DC Super Hero Girls: Teen Power showed off many of the show's main characters, and detailed how these iconic heroes will play in the game.
Based on the Cartoon Network series, DC Super Hero Girls' video game follows Wonder Woman, Batgirl, Supergirl, and more in their younger years. The game will allow players to take control of several of them, and each hero will come with her own unique set of abilities. Characters like Green Lantern, Bumblebee, and Zatanna were shown in the trailer, but it's unclear if they'll become playable or not.
DC Super Hero Girls: Teen Power Playable Characters Explained
The three characters that are confirmed to be playable in DC Super Hero Girls: Teen Power are Wonder Woman, Batgirl, and Supergirl. Each hero has a unique set of abilities to help them fight crime. Wonder Woman will have her iconic Lasso of Truth and Flying Shield to take down bad guys. Barbara Gordon's Batgirl will be able to invent her own gadgets, like the Batarang and Bat-Hook, in order to fight crime.
The third playable character, Supergirl, will have powers including Heat Vision and Super-Breath. While a lot of the attention for new reveals may have gone to games like Skyward Sword HD and Mario Golf: Super Rush, DC Super Hero Girls: Teen Power is still a pleasant surprise that should get fans excited to try a lighter side of DC video games.
For now, it's unclear if Green Lantern, Bumblebee, and Zattana will become playable. The characters were shown in the trailer for DC Super Hero Girls: Teen Power, but only Wonder Woman, Batgirl, and Supergirl were confirmed as playable heroes during the reveal.
