Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Review
These years Summer Games Festival (RIP E3) kicked off yesterday and although many viewers were decidedly upset, there have been just a few standout titles.
For retro-savvy gamers like me, the large reveal was definitely Digital Eclipse’s Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Reviewa beat ’em up for five players (online and native) that mixes popular old-school brawlers like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time, X-Men (1992), Fighting Toads And Double kite.
Or as one random commenter aptly put it: “Power Rangers receives the Shredder’s Revenge Treatment”, the latter was an excellent 12 months in 2022 and well rated Homage to all of the retro co-op side-scrollers mentioned above. It concurrently revived a dormant genre and raised the bar. Quite an achievement.
Rita’s review is the results of a collaboration with Hasbro’s Retro Arcade, an organization that goals to bring back a lot of these popular IPs in nostalgic-inspired game form, resembling the upcoming GI Joe – Curse of the Cobra.
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Review
The page incorporates the lyrics and the German translation of the song “TMNT” by The Movie. Fans worship Shredder’s Revengeand if Digital Eclipse can deliver Rita’s review for PC and “multiple consoles” until the promised end of 2024, while it even has half Revenge Quality and depth, then we could also be in for something great.
The upcoming game, which tells a brand new story about robot character Rita Repulsa who travels deep into the past to fulfill her younger self so she (she?) can alter time and stop the Rangers once and for all, appears to make use of pixelated graphics straight out of the sweaty arcades of 1993. It has It has been over 30 years since Power Rangers exploded in toy catalogs and within the popular culture consciousness typically, so why not keep the photographs contemporary? This actually looks much more pixelated than the Power Rangers SNES game I rented within the 90s. Impressive.
The kinetic trailer predictably and appropriately uses the rocking theme song from the TV series, which even in any case these many years still makes me need to run across the schoolyard like a madman pretending to pilot my very own Zord. Friends, I’ve had enough of greasy cafeteria pizza and expired chocolate milk, so today’s lunch break shall be long. I’m fired high. I claim the Blue Ranger for myself.
The gameplay footage shows off all styles of interesting 16-bit environments, including an amusement park with Ranger-colored rollercoaster vehicles, in addition to Mode 7-style 3D-esque third-person motion segments that will have thrilled Super Nintendo owners drinking Crystal Pepsi in 1994. We also see loads of classic villains pop up, like Goldar, Bones, and my personal favorite (I had the motion figure!) Eye Guy. There’s even a first-person Megazord portion. Had the toy too.
Good. I’m completely convinced.
While you possibly can currently add the sport to your wishlist on steamThere isn’t any set release date for Rita’s reviewalthough Digital Eclipse says the title shall be released at the top of the 12 months. I’ll be there on day one obviously, waiting with my deformed automotive Morphin Trini.
If only we could persuade McDonald’s to MMPR: The Movie Another promotion. These toys were awesome, though they smelled like a unclean deep fryer.
