No idea who the dev is, but judging by the font used, it's clearly japanese.
The japanese game page only mentions Nintendo though.
My boy LOVES LOVES LOVES this series and had been ploughing through it again recently. At 9:50 last night, these footsteps padded up the the stairs and LO, it was the boy, "Daddy, I almost forgot, there is the Nintendo video tonight and we didn't watch it!" So I got him set up on a pillow and he put his head down and we watched it together. Then this popped up and he was sleepy enthusiasm, "I'm going to get that".
I don't know the franchise but the video showed a pretty white only mindset….
I hoped for more in 2021
I have a 7 y.o. boy who loves the series, it's going to be great for him.
This looks like a licensed PS2 game and there's something really charming about that. At least for me since I grew up with a lot of that stuff.
I think the video was pretty Batgirl centric, in the mix you have Bumblebee, Green Lantern and WonderGirl too. Also nice how SuperGirl is ultra buff, so it isn't like the Barbie doll crew of the older series.
What?
Wonder Woman is accurately depicted as Mediterranean.
Bumblebee is black.
Green Lantern (Jessica Cruz) is Latina.
Then look at the diversity of bodies.
Let's hope it's closer to Lego City Undercover than Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3, in terms of Nintendo-adjacent kid friendly games...
All of them have super bright versions of their skin colors so that may be easy to miss in a quick moving trailer. Like, the tone used for Bumblebee there would almost be used for white characters in other cartoons.What?

Man not gonna lie when i saw this i kinda wished something similar based on Marvel IPs would happen since my younger nieces are watching all the MCU movies for the first time and this would have been a rad gift for them.
Well they might be familiar with some DC Heroes by summer as well considering how much they are watching during the lockdown right now.

There was a short lived animated series called Marvel Rising that tried something similar but no game and it was a bit more serious. I'd love something fun and silly like this but with Marvel heroines.
This looks fun and I'm in just to be able to play as Batgirl in something. I hope it's a solid beat-em-up with some fun exploration/social/customisation stuff, which is what it seems to be.
Reviews will determine how long I wait to pick it up (after the Direct this year seems kinda incredible for games).

maybe this was a title that was outsourced to a japanese company who nintendo has ties with, and during the at&t potential selloff, this was on the chopping block... so nintendo came in to the rescue?
It's surprising but makes sense when you consider that Nintendo wants to cater to a bunch of different demographics that are often neglected. On the other end from WB's perspective Nintendo has the best reach on consoles to hit those demographics.
I think it's cool that Nintendo picks something like this up, even if it's not for me.
Harley Quinn's transition to being a hero has infected Poison Ivy. It actually would make for a very compelling love drama to keep Ivy as mostly bad in a way that doesn't work with Batman and Talia or Selena. The key difference is that there is no tension in believing they could make Batman a bad guy.???
I think you're getting confused for the earlier, more Barbie-ish rendition
This is a soft reboot by Lauren Faust of MLP fame
I think it was unnecessarily dumbed down for the younger girl audience. I think you could've done a more general audiences trailer just fine. Just my two cents.
With Harley there is real tension about a bad Ivy corrupting her.
Ofcourse I don't want to see this in a kids show. I'm merely opining that they should consider exploring this type of story in their more adult fictional explorations of these characters.
Not for me but I don't hate it at all. Definitely here for more demographics being targeted and showcased prominently by publishers.
My daughter thought it looked cool and was excited to see something in the direct that was girl related. This and the Peach outfit in Animal Crossing were the only things she liked in the direct. They need more of this (assuming it is good) to keep growing their younger audience. I just hope the game is easy enough for her (she is 5) so she doesn't get discouraged early on. Kid property video games usually end up being stupid baby garbage or overly complex and forget their audience. We have been trying to comb through the Wii library to find things and most of them are either too hard or laughably bad that even she knows they suck even if it has a Disney princess in it.
Now if some of that money could get back to the show so they could, I don't know, make more episode to help promote this it would be really super. It basically had a run in 2019, then in 2020 it got like 13 episodes spread out across the year. I don't expect we'll get anymore.
While I am not crazy about the art-style. I don't understand why this has so many dislikes. It looks really fun.

I swear I thought I saw her in the trailer somewhere.
Probably because it's not aimed at (adult male) core gamers and dared to take up time in the Direct.
I think it's also fair to say it looks just pretty bad right? I'm very happy to play games that aren't for "male super hardcore gamers" but this honestly reminded me of the sort of title you'd find on the wii in 2007 in the bargain bin.
Not all incels, some are just run of the mill manchildren.
I'm part of a Nintendo Fans Over 30 group on Facebook and the amount of people (who I know have children) that were upset with this, was just dumb.
Nah, I'd say you're wrong here. There's a difference between a game for all ages (Mario) and a game aimed primarily at young children (this)

Not particularly, at least not to the extent that people would go to the trailer upload and dislike it.
