 Let's Play Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers There were several Power Rangers games in the 16-bit era of gaming, and this is the one that's not a beat 'em up or fighting game. Well, kinda. It's an action-platformer, but there is a lot of punching and slashing. Its most defining feature is probably how incredibly mild it all is. Mildly aggressive enemies, mildly interesting boss patterns, and mildly challenging platforming. I feel confident that nearly anyone familiar with games could finish it in just a couple tries. Why Let's Play it? Because it's fun, and it's one of the very first 16-bit games I've ever completed. It may not be particularly remarkable, but it is remarkably fair. You could mistake its ease of play for something made by today's standards, and I have a soft spot for old games that feel more like new ones, because they just seem so out of place. And I really, really want to talk about the game's design. So let's stop Rita Repugnant. Videos

Genocyber posted:I remember enjoying this game via emulation a few years ago. It's not very challenging but it's pretty fun for how simple it is. I was aware of Ninja Warriors, but I never noticed the similarities, I should give it a try. mandatory lesbian posted:it will be trash but i really hope it'll be able to be good trash, much like the original power rangers It will be better than VR Troopers.

Hitlers Gay Secret posted:Ah yeah, loved this game as a kid. Played it a few months back when I found my old SNES and games. It seems like it would've been a good game to play back then, it really rewards the player for aggression.

So is Gnarly Gnome a garden gnome? mandatory lesbian posted:ya know i just thought about it, and zardon has a weird definition of "with attitude" considering all the teens are charity-workers and the first few seasons were kind of moralizing at times Geostomp posted:I just want to see if the movie actually manages to deliver on the "with attitude" line. Apparently he meant "can-do attitude"

SonicRulez posted:I loved the Power Rangers so much. As a kid I think we only had the fighting game. I'm heavily considering picking up that new side-scroller that came out since it's got a 4 player deal going on. Oh hey, I actually own that! It's a pretty good beat 'em up, just don't expect stellar production values.

Calax posted:Bulk is still doing TV work Mostly Power Rangers related (He had a string of cameo's in one of the most recent seasons). Skull, however, is a PHD in theater for Shakespear and Westerns, and can no longer do the laugh. Westerns? Yeah, I recall seeing Bulk make an appearance in Power Rangers Samurai.

Maybe it's a satire of the kind of movie you hope it isn't.

Elentor posted:Man you just sent me in a trip to the 90's. Depending on where exactly you live, all of VRTroopers and Big Bad Beetleborgs are on Netflix. I wouldn't personally recommend watching them, but maybe it'd be fun just for the nostalgia.

get that OUT of my face posted:I think there's a mode where you can play as the Megazord and fight a monster, and it's a two-player fighting game. Either that, or it's a cheat code. It was a cheat code, the game gives it to you when you finish it.

Calax posted:Fun thing to do, if you watch the second season you can see where they started using characters who'd never really fought that particular power rangers group (it's all shots so you never have to see the bad guy actually fighting the rangers in their suits, until Zords) Oh dear, that's pretty special.

Blaze Dragon posted:Some sort of lab, it seems. It gave me a very Mega Man X5/X6 vibe, especially with the giant laser. Can you also pass through the laser while it's still firing in Megaman? That sounds like it'd be great for speedrunning.

bman in 2288 posted:I'm kind of sad you aren't showing off the extra moves. Sure, they aren't necessary, but they're pretty fun and can make the rangers surprisingly mobile. The what? Discendo Vox posted:I think the weird screen just before 6:00 with the two low-health putties actually lets you throw the computer monitors in the foreground there. It's weird that I never considered to check that.

bman in 2288 posted:Oh yeah. Backflips, bouncing off of enemies, air throws, there's more to the combat and movement system than you've shown off thus far. Oh, those. I did consider showing air throws but second nature takes over and I just do what's most convenient. SonicRulez posted:I don't remember, so I sought the game out to see how far I could get. I beat the fucker (on like my 3rd or 4th attempt) and then lost to the Dragonzord which boots you back to the fight with Tommy. Nope. That game is very not fun. I did not much care for it either.
