DC Super Hero Girls is an ongoing DC franchise aimed at a younger audience, following teen versions of DC’s iconic superheroes as they attend “Super Hero High School.” DC Super Hero Girls: Teen Power, the game announced in Nintendo’s latest Direct, is the first game to be announced for the franchise, and it’s due out on the Switch on June 4.

The trailer for Teen Power showcases combat as Batgirl, Supergirl, and Wonder Woman, while Green Lantern (Jessica Cruz), Bumblebee, and Zatanna are also shown to be part of the main team. As well as combat, the game is set to have social RPG elements, with the characters also navigating high school life, buying new outfits, and taking pictures for an in-game social media network.

After launching in 2015 as a web series, DC Super Hero Girls has since seen a rebooted TV show led by Lauren Faust of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic fame. Season 1 ran for 52 episodes between March 2019 and December 2020, and a second season is due out sometime in 2021.

Destiny 1’s first strike, The Devils’ Lair, has been added to Destiny 2 and we compare it to the original to see if there are any notable differences.

We got our first look at how Apex Legends plays on Switch during Nintendo’s February Direct. You can check out Apex Legends’ Switch gameplay in the trailer embedded below. Apex Legends releases for Switch on March 9.

Also in the trailer, Nintendo announces that the Switch version of Apex Legends will come with a brand-new, never-before-seen legendary skin for Pathfinder. The trailer doesn’t show off what the skin looks like though.

Given that it’s coming out weeks after the start of Season 8: Mayhem, the Switch version of the game will set you up with a 33-level head start on the battle pass for free. This is around where most players on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, and PC will be in mid-March, so you won’t be left behind if you start playing on Switch.

Constantine is hardly DC’s highest-profile character, but he’s apparently one of the most adaptable; HBO Max is prepping a new series for the character in partnership with J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot production company, according to a report from Deadline.

The series will focus on a slightly younger version of John Constantine, the lead character from the Hellblazer comics. The creators are apparently looking for a non-white actor for the role. According to the report, the show will focus on the comic’s horror roots more than the religious focus that previous incarnations have generally focused on. Newcomer Guy Bolton is writing the pilot script, and the series will reportedly connect to HBO Max’s planned Justice League Dark, which Abrams is also producing.

John Constantine, DC’s master of the dark arts, first appeared in Saga of the Swamp Thing #37 in 1985, with his appearance based on British musician Sting. He appeared in live action first in the 2005 film Constantine, played by Keanu Reeves and laid dormant for almost a decade before NBC revived him for a television show of the same name. There, British actor Matt Ryan portrayed a more comics-accurate version of the character in the one-season show. After its abrupt cancelation, the CW worked out a deal to bring the character and actor over for a single appearance on Arrow, where he helped Sara Lance reclaim her soul after being revived in a Lazarus Pit. The character was popular enough that the CW’s timey-wimey superhero show DC’s Legends of Tomorrow brought Ryan on to reprise the character in season 3, and he’s been with the crew since.

One of the biggest surprises from February 17’s Nintendo Direct was the announcement of Splatoon 3. The multiplayer-shooter series moves away from Inkopolis to a new region in 2022. That’s quite a ways away, and while there likely won’t be any Splatoon-related shortages, you can reserve your copy of the squid-ink shooter at Best Buy right now.

In addition to the new setting, Nintendo has teased a number of other details. The trailer showed an Inkling (sporting a new braid hairstyle) accompanied by a Salmonid, which were enemies in Splatoon 2’s co-op mode. Additionally, the traditional 4v4 Turf War mode was shown taking place in the Splatlands desert. Things kick off with the Inklings in some sort of aerial drone before they choose where they want to land and head into battle.

When 2020 passed without a single Marvel Cinematic Universe release, fans were anxious for the next piece of the massive puzzle. The releases of Black Widow and Eternals on the big screen were delayed, while Disney+’s Falcon and the Winter Soldier was pushed after production was halted during the pandemic. Then, at long last, there was a light at the end of the tunnel. WandaVision became the first MCU Phase 4 entry and, it should be argued, it’s also one of the strongest projects Marvel Studios has released yet.

Not only did WandaVision end the drought of MCU entries, but it’s helping to redefine what a live-action Marvel story can be. On one hand, WandaVision is a celebration of TV history, with different episodes paying tribute to different eras of family sitcoms–from 1950s shows like I Love Lucy to early-’00s favorites like Malcolm in the Middle. Each episode has painstakingly recreated the shows it’s inspired by, from the ridiculously silly special effects of old sitcoms to the fourth-wall-breaking moments of later eras, in which characters speak directly to the camera–not to mention a new era-appropriate theme song each week.

Beyond that, though, WandaVision is a story of loss, trauma, and coping with post-traumatic stress disorder. That’s surprising given the characters of Wanda (Elizabeth Olsen) and Vision (Paul Bettany) have more or less been third-tier players in the MCU. Now, they’re thrust to the forefront and given the kind of character development most of the MCU roster could benefit greatly from, telling a genuinely heartbreaking story.

Here are the most action-packed gameplay moments from our time with Knockout City’s closed beta, an all-new dodgeball inspired multiplayer game.

Showcased during the recent Nintendo Direct, Velan Studios’ Knockout City is a team-based action dodgeball game with a similar vibe and energy to games like Splatoon and Ninjala. As another title in the slate of EA Originals, this online-focused “dodge-brawler”–as the developers call it–is the next online game coming from EA that aims to be a fun and accessible take on classic multiplayer battles. Ahead of its launch on May 21, which will have a free trial for a set amount of time, select players will even be able to get some hands-on time with the upcoming closed beta on February 20.

Before the game’s public reveal, I had a chance to get some early hands-on time with the upcoming Closed Beta while also speaking with Velan Studios CEO Karthik Bala about the game’s making. The core concept of Knockout City is that it’s a fast-paced and tactical take on the familiar game of dodgeball. Set in a future metropolis that’s run by different gangs, you’ll take your new “dodge-brawler” up the ranks, customizing their look and style, honing your skills with a variety of different attack balls, and even coming up with tactical ways to use your own teammates as cannonballs to strike against the opposing team.

From my hands-on with Knockout City, I found it to be a surprisingly accessible approach to the conceit of an arena-style action game. Without worrying about choosing the right set of perks, gear options, or even character classes, the game keeps all players on a level playing field and gives all the tools they need to win. When you manage to grab a ball on the field, you can charge it up and fire it at your opponent. However, your opponent can still evade the projectile or even catch it in mid-air. The latter is risky, and it will require careful timing, and if you’re up against a crafty opponent, they can use fake-out moves and gestures to catch you off-guard.

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is coming to Switch, as announced during Nintendo’s February Direct. This HD remaster improves upon the original 2011 game for Wii and 2016 Wii U port.

Though the title for this port is The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD, the visuals for the game don’t seem to have gotten a significant upgrade. Instead, this remaster implements some welcome quality-of-life improvements.

For instance, the Switch version makes use of the Joy-Con controllers for smoother motion controllers. And for those who don’t want or can’t use motion controls, Skyward Sword HD implements an option to play with a button-only control scheme.
