The reason the SNES movie game doesn't have anything to do with the movie is because it was originally intended to be a sequel to the first game but based off season 2. It was originally called Wrath Of Lord Zedd which is why there are Z's everywhere and why you fight Ivan Ooze in Zedds throne room. However due to the movie being released they just took Zedd out and put Ivan Ooze in instead.
I didn't know that.
Interesting, I actually might've suspected as much.
I can’t believe I ended up buying the Super Edition of Power Rangers Battle for the Grid just based on your videos and my slight fascination with fighting games despite being terrible at them, but your videos really do an amazing job of making me care about games or franchises I’ve never cared about before. I hope you end up doing another Power Rangers video one day, would love to see what other games there are in the series.
The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers game on the SEGA Gensis was one of my favorite games as a kid. I had SO much fun with it!
lol, those city models in the show. "points for accuracy" indeed.
Gundam Wing Endless Duel is amazing. The Power Rangers Fighting game was the prototype, you can easily tell. Both good games.
I can see that. It is made by the same company.
Something awesome about the Genesis version is how Lord Zedd actually keeps his focus on the ranger he deems highest priority. If your the White Ranger he'll keep his eyes on you, if no White Ranger is present, he'll keep his eyes on the Red Ranger. I'm sure Blue and Black were focused over Yellow and Yellow, and even if you are the two girls I believe he focused on yellow.
It's a shame how easy the game was but I suppose as of now you can acknowledge that the designers new it was for younger kids.
Damn that’s sick!
"With these new powers comes the Ninja-Mega-Falcon-Zord and you finish the game by taking down Ivan and his Ecto-Morphagons" is probably the silliest sentence I've ever heard and I love it.
I had forgotten about Fighting Edition - I LOVED this game as a kid. The Gundam game was a worthy successor as well.
That Kyoryu Change Samba at the end is the most inspiring thing you've ever done.
So hey, it didn't have much use outside of boss attacks and *occasional* screen-clearing, but in the SNES movie game after filling your meter you can use a big screen-clearing attack that is unique to each ranger. That explains why the meter drains: so you can't hold a big powerful move in reserve indefinitely. I do agree that it would be nice if they let you use the weapons outside of this mode, though!
I never noticed this before: The boxes for the Sega games have all six rangers on the cover, but the Nintendo ones only feature Tommy, as if to say "Yes, these ones have Tommy in them this time, OK? Please stop sending death threats!"
The fighting edition actually have 9 characters, you can do some kind of special button pressing (I played this in the neo geo PC version) and when u pick golden you be using ooze instead
MMPR: FE was definitely where Nintendo had the last laugh. That game was awesome, and much like its predecessor on the Genesis (the original MMPR fighting game), there was a code to unlock a hidden 9th playable character, which allowed you to ruin friendships by playing as Ivan Ooze's broken ass LOL.
Holy crap, it's been years since I've even thought about Fighting Edition! That game was amazing.
I wasn't aware there was a The Movie game for Game Gear, I'm gonna have to check that one out, even if it's just a little more than a minor upgrade to the first game.
I've never gone from 23 to 3 years old faster than when the Zeo Battle Racers title screen played.
Actually, The Fighting Edition had NINE playable, not eight as Ivan Ooze was unlockable.
I came here to write this comment. One of my favorite things to do is feign surprise when my character isn't actually the Thunder Megazord but IVAN OOZE HIMSELF!!!
And also, it was possible to float Ooze to the upper corner and spam your projectile and always win :P
Thanks for doing this. I had no access to Sega products as a kid. Looks like I missed out on more than blood in Mortal Kombat.
Fun fact: Like you said The Fighting Edition is running on an earlier version of the engine used for Gundam Wing: Endless Duel. The Power Rangers title came out 6 months before the Gundam one and it seems likely that the game was taken on after the Gundam title had already started development and was rushed out the door first for whatever reason. That's why the game has a Zord focus and you can't play as the individual Rangers, the engine was being designed for giant robots from the get go. Endless Duel is quite a bit different from Fighting Edition though, and honestly I prefer it.
Also, I played the hell out of Power Rangers: The Movie on Game Gear as a kid. I decided to check it out a few years back just to see if I was a dumb kid or if it was actually fun and was surprised by just how well it holds up. Definitely more enjoyable than the Game Gear versions of Mortal Kombat 1 and 2 at any rate.
I love the Sega Genesis version of MMPR: The movie. Loads of fun.
7:04 got a genuine, out loud HA! from me. Good ol' Super Megaforce.
So happy to see someone other than me acknowledge the Genesis Movie game. Best Power Ranger game, imho, but most people seem to focus on the Super Nintendo versions for some reason.
The Genesis version of the movie game was way better,it actually followed the movie and had better stages.
It followed a few parts of the movie and explored season 2 also. It was better then the snes game, apart from in the snes how you could morph when you wanted to.,
Soon as I saw that power rangers fighting game I was like "This looks a lot like those two Gundam games I have on PS1..."
Finally someone who goes nuts over the Genesis Movie game about as much as I do. I'd gladly drop an hour to play that co-op with someone.
Very excited for you to return to the DK series.I don't really know what DK was doing back during that time, besides Jungle Beat, which was awesome.
I LOVED the power ranger games on the genesis. I still remember the secret zed stage/fight in the movie. It was so cool. They captured the menacing aura he had.
Hope you continue on into the new year. Enjoyed your two Power Rangers Videos. If you do one on Post Mighty Morphin Era Games I'd love to see what you have to say about the game they did for the 10th Anniversary on Franchise, both the PS2 & DS versions.
this is a great follow up video. I enjoyed the hell out your video. great job!
That ending brought this video from really good to fucking awesome, man xD
Thank you for the videos on the MMPR movie and MMPR video games!! Great work. This was a fun nostalgic look at the classic games. I definately agree with you in your reviews, too. I
One thing you could say for the SNES version was the music. That was about it. Mainly stage 2's harbour stage.
From what I hear, the Power Rangers Fighting Edition game uses a similar (but not the same!) engine as a Gundam Wing fighting game in Japan. Over there though the power bars work differently and imo better: you get to shoot a cannon at long range and special moves detract from the same power bar, which is filled by landing attacks and such.
Now if only they made Power Rangers: the Movie: the Spinfighters: the Video Game, my childhood would be complete.
I want a PR RPG where you play through multiple versions - start off as S1 MMPR, go to ninja Rangers, S3, Alien, and Zeo at least.
10:33 You say the SNES got a game that couldn't be done on SEGA's hardware. Actually, there is a fanmade port of that exact game for the Genesis, and it looks about as good. You can look up various videos of it.
The game is probably just a proof of concept more than anything, but it's fun to know that game could have been done just as well on the Genesis.
I feel like there's a game or two you're missing. but I'm probably 10/10 wrong though. fun video! very entertaining, brought back so many good memories as a kid. ty bud! and keep up the good work! it's morphin time! yeeaaaah putty!!
@1:23 now I want to revisit this game, and when Kimberly morphs, have Chyna's "Who I Am" theme play for the rest of the level
Fun fact, Adam's frog Zord is actually the only sword to bid the ninja theme. Just ask Gaijin Goomba.
I can't believe I was 5-6 when the Power Rangers movie came out. And now I've got a little girl around that age. FUCK time has passed.
I was overjoyed when you finally got to the MMPR The Movie The Fighting Edition
Part 3 video talking about Mega Battle? Seems appropriate to close out this series.
I'm actually starting to wonder if, as an alternative to the flashback sequence, they could have actually had us play through Fados, maybe an hour ninja costumes?
Wow I wish I'd have found this trilogy of videos earlier. I missed the power rangers as a kid but I've found a love for them as an adult. So dorky but so cool
Yeah, the Gundam game that you mentioned was Gundam Wing Endless Duel which was also a massive improvement over the Power Ranger Game.
I love the Chyna reference. RIP Chyna.
I never thought I'd see someone liking the Movie Game over the original on the SNES.
Loved The Fighting Edition. Loved it. Thanks for including.
Holy crap, you used the soundtrack version of the power rangers theme song
Okay you got me at 'new powers' great video!
in the UK when the movie came out, jason trini and zack were still on the tv show.....confusing for a kid!
There was an Famicom Zyuranger game. I had it in a bootleg cartridge (re-titled as Power Rangers, but it was in japanese), and i played the shit out of it. It didn't age well though.
I think you forgot to press X-Y-Start at the same time when selecting your character in Fighting Edition's two-player mode.
watched both power ranger videos ! and now a subscriber!
The only Power Rangers game I ever played in my childhood was the movie version for the SNES. I enjoyed it, even though it wasn't nearly as good as most of the other SNES games I played. I didn't care much that it didn't follow the plot of the movie, since I wasn't really that big of a Power Rangers fan back then. Also, I think they were much more popular in the US than in my home country of Germany.
Adam has a frog...AND a minivan...
on the fighting edition if you did the right button combination you could unlock ooze as a payable character
I remember the action figures for this movie having a shiny metallic look to it
"Gundam game on the same engine" Ah, yes. Gundam Wing: Endless Duel. It's a pretty fun little fighter(I love Deathscythe), but the only way to play it is either by emulation or by finding and importing the Super Famicom game. It never received an official English SNES release, as it was made and released 4 years before Gundam Wing was introduced officially to US audiences, and by that time, the SNES had been shelved to make way for the N64.
If you use emulation, there IS a translation patch available, but given that it's a fighting game with minimal story, it's not necessary to enjoy it.
it didn't get a US release because MMPRFE was already a US exclusive, so GWED was the Japanese counterpart.
I KNOW the different Rangers in the GB game have different stats,because i remember a ledge that i couldn't reach with Tommy,but could reach with Kimberly,i think
I would have gone crazy for these games when I was a kid. May still give one or a two a try. Out of any of these, which do you think is closest to a "must play" for someone who was a fan of the show, but never played the games?
Fun fact: Shogun Megazord despite being really awesome is actually a bottom tier character. He is absolutely helpless against an ooze character (but then Ooze is actually broken tier and should not be legal to play ever).
Thankfully we're getting Power Rangers Mega Battle for the Xbox One and PS4 this year.
more of these please
3:45 At least this time they included a jump animation, though!
Power Rangers the movie the video game, the award winning novel, and knuckles.
I like the MMPR Movie Game boy game and the SNES MMPR game. The Fighting edition was the first MMPR game i had as a kid (As well as the only). my favorites are: Fighting edition>> MMPR Movie Genesis>>MMPR SNES>>>MMPR Movie GB>>>MMPR Movie SNES>>MMPR GB.
God I wish they’d do a remake of the fighting edition. More zords, more monsters, more sets. It would be badass.
Oh Yeah , I Can't Wait for More Donkey Kong!
RoyRoy N64 lol
Dude, the Fighting Edition was my game! :D
very well done as a fan my self you got all the good points
lmao! "Tommy, Popular and marketable!" this is soooo true! and this is coming from a Tommy/Jason David Frank fanboi! hahaha
you can actually unlock the dragonzord and ivan ooze as secret characters too
I already said in the last video about my megadrive bootleg port of fighting edition, so i'm not sure what else to comment
Ron Wasserman music FTW !
Please, make more of these!
My favorite power rangers game ever are ninja storm and wild force for the ps1 (japanese power ranger game)
"The movie the video game the video!"
Witch rangers was that from where he said no that those ? With tv show of rangers ?
After the credits killed me. Atta be Josh
+WideSpreadGamers I know, I'm the most graceful, elegant person.
+The Geek Critique 100 internets for your Kyoryu change! :D
+Kalrell okay, was not expecting that. 10+ points
+The Geek Critique I want a gun morpher & breakdancing classes now.
@The Geek Critique I always wondered about that, I mean, the Pink Ranger has a Skirt on her uniform....
I like power rangers the movie on genesis, way too much fun
Dude, the genesis had a yamaha based fm chip inside. Not the z80. The z80 is the basis for the sharp cpu of the gameboy for example. It has no actual sound capabilities.
Welp...Between this video and the previous one, I know which Sega games to go after next
keep doing power rangers this is awesome
I look forward to more of this
Hey nice video but id say my favorite is the first power rangers game for snes, the sega PR movie games looks good.
Could you please do this kind of video for every PR series? *PLEASE?*
I'm scripting it right now!
Oh seriously? For *every* season? Dude... You are *THE BIGGEST* badass. *THANK YOU*.
The game gear sadly was the one I played the most on this version and I loved the movie
Will you ever cover the games based of the other seasons?
Ahh dude, you should get into Kamen Rider!
Genesis Movie game is the freaking best. The zord fights are rad
I was so excited about this, Power Rangers the movie the game on Genesis is so fucking awesome. I play this every now and again with my buddies cuz it's short, fun, and so cool. I loveeee playing as falconzord. I recall having a 2 player Genesis fighting game but I don't remember what it was called. We should be friends.
I love the power rangers movie game for gameboy, especially over the original gameboy game.
if you ever come to MA please come over my house and play the genesis and snes games with me XD , kick ass job you do with your videos , thank you for being you
Damn, I love Kyuryuuger
I really liked the snes edition growing up
I always wanted a megazord fighting game
05:58 what is name this???
Honestly seeing this, it's understandable why he goes against the SNES games a lot. While I am a fan of the SNES Beat em ups, I really do want to give those Genesis games a shot now. And honestly I think it all comes down to taste. I was actually not a fan of the fighting game but I know a lot of people are, it just wasn't all that interesting to me at the time.
Are you ever going to cover the new
Donkey Kong Country games?
