Gundam Wing Endless Duel was made after this and used the same game engine. EDIT: And yes, this was an amazing game. Played it for hours with my cousin. I mained Lip Syncher.
True, Power Rangers (in the 16-bit era) got the best cut; You got 6 to play around with, MMPR for SNES, Genesis and best GameGear, Both MMPR Movie games for Genesis and SNES (My personal favorites), and MMPR fighting edition which can only be bested by the best fighting game on the SNES; Gundam Wing Endless Duel (SF comes close but you really can't match the premise of giant fighting robots)
I seem to recall there being a ranger vs ranger fighting game on the Genesis that let you play any of the original five in story mode. Anyone remember that one?
@@AndrewBlechinger Yeah, I had that. It was MMPR for the Genesis. I remember I was disappointed when I got it because the SNES version was a beat 'em up and I was hoping for something along those lines instead of a straight fighter.
Not 1 had Green Ranger.(Sega got Green Ranger)The Movie game and this game were good. The first one was repetitive af. (I was born in 1990, I was the target demographic. Even I hated it.)
This is one of the best looking fighting games on the SNES. People might think I'm insane for saying this but to me it looks noticeably better than SF2 even if it clearly isn't a better game. This looks surprisingly awesome though.
Tom Wilson No I caught the reference but it was still kinda random like how the part it reminded you of was still only slightly similar and whatnot. I like it though! lol
Tom Wilson Beck is a little before my time but I always remember finding a random old cassette when I was little and hearing some Beck tracks jamming out to it dancing like idiots with my cousins. Was a hilarious 90's kid moment.
Yeah, this and GWED are closer to Street Fighter Alpha 2's SNES port (i.e. the high end) when it comes to graphics, sound and gameplay smoothness/speed. Of course, it's hard to beat SF2 in terms of balance and perfection of the formula, especially in its later releases, but for a casual player just jumping into the genre for a quick round I'd say the 3 I mentioned are superior.
I feel like since you didn't care for Power Rangers I need to add this: the soundtrack and visuals (like in 1:39) are really well true to the original source. Those cheesy "Samurai battle ending" in which the hero and the antagonist cross attacks and then one flinches and the other one is destroyed was a staple in Power Rangers. The soundtrack sounds pretty much just like the show tunes too.
I watched Might Morphin Power Rangers as a teenager _because_ it looked hokey and cheesy. Oh my goodness, I got so much enjoyment out of the original TV show. It was so low-budget I couldn't help but love it. It never failed to make me laugh.
I just scored this game at an entertainment exchange store and never would have given it a second thought if I hadn't watched this video. Thanks SNES drunk!
Yeah, I was an NES kid. Things like Power Rangers and Pokemon were a bit past my time and as a teen I found them rather hokey. I can at least sort of appreciate them for their significance though, and must admit to having watched them from time to time.
This is the game I was playing (from Blockbuster) when my parents old wooden tv finally broke. I remember I was fighting in that Zordon level and the screen turned yellow and distorted.
It's not that it's power rangers but rather if the fighting is fluid enough similar to street fighter 2. Look at justice league, it is a mess of a fighting game for either 16bit console.
Skye Reynolds I would question whether I wanted to live if Batman Forever was one of the first games I played. It was a sad Christmas when I got that for SNES in Christmas 1995. Luckily I had been playing SNES since the beginning and had other games to play.
Batman Forever wasn't too bad, but it could have been a bit better. The first games I got for mine were Super Mario World, Super Bases Loaded, and Lemmings. Unfortunately I don't have Lemmings anymore, because it got stolen from my house, along with Robocop vs The Terminator.
The power rangers games (at least during the 16 bit era) had way more care and polish put into them compared to most other licensed games at the time. Primarily because they were done by natsume (for snes) and banpresto (for genesis). The publishers alone should show that these games are gonna be good. Then again, we also have the sega cd and gameboy games. And those are probably the only ones that weren't as great.
My friend brought this game to my house and I played it. Lord Zedd gave me so much hard time but I managed to kick his butt. Ivan Ooze was a push over. I beat him 2 times in a row.
Me and my friends, which at the time were into Power Rangers Ninja Storm, played the SHIT out of this game. like....for hours and hours. No Shogun Megazord allowed, Nor Ivan Ooze. I wish the roster was bigger but by god it is so satisfying
Fun game but it could use a remake with more characters including the mighty Morphin mega zord and dragon zord battle mode, unused pr monsters like party Crasher monster and senor bird cage vagabond, and other villains like Rito Revolto and Mondo the Magician.
If you guys are fans of this game, do look into the team's following Gundam games that started by repurposing the engine from this game. Gundam Wing Endless Duel (Snes), Gundam The Battle Master (PS1, Japan Exclusive), Gundam The Battle Master 2 (PS1, Japan Exclusive), Gundam Battle Assault (it's a repurposed Battle Master 2 with changes to take advantage of Gundam Wing's popularity in the US at the time. Replacing portraits, making Heero Yui as the main character of the story and swapping Z Gundam with Wing Gundam) and Gundam Battle Assault 2 (the best of the series and it's an US Exclusive. It got divided into 3 budget releases in Japan removing all voice tracks and separating the 3 featured Gundam generations used in the full US release.). It's fair to say this game is part of the Gundam fighting series by this Natsume development team.
You failed to add in the one piece of game-breaking information about this game: Ivan Ooze is broken AF. Either player could select him to play in versus mode by pressing X+Y+Start, and not only can he fly, but his moves do crazy damage and he even has a Hadouken move that shoots multiple seeking projectiles (more if properly timed). I just fought a battle with my Ivan Ooze at the lowest power level versus Shogun Megazord at highest power level, and he didn't stand a chance. That's the highest-defense robot, and he couldn't even touch me. That's a problem.
"All the other reviews were 12-15 minutes...do you really need...." That's like every TH-cam video these days. "Hey, watch this drag race" - and the video is 15 minutes long. How does an 8 second drag race take 15 minutes....99% padding.
One think that annoys me about you, your reviews of license games always, always start with this talk about bad license games and how the AVGN made it into a meme. Always. Just review the game. Just saying "dispite being a license game this is actually good" and that's all the information we need. I actually don't even agree with the sentiment. Movie tie ins were generally really bad, because they had to come out when the movie came out, the developers didn't even know the full story sometimes and sometimes the IP holder is really meddling with the development. Like I think it was Last Action Hero, Arnorld or someone wanted a minimum amount of violence in the game, so the developers had to throw out the whole combat system and rewrite the damn game close before deadline. In general, long running licenses, like shows or comics, got decent games. Look at Asterix, most games are decent, but that one game based on the movie is shit. Utter shit. PS: The game looks amazing. There is actually a homebrew port to the Genesis.
+Ryuma King One problem with doing 100+ reviews is that it's hard not to end up with the same talking points over and over. And even if you try, it's still going to happen without realizing it. I'll do better next time.

The SNES got not 1, but 3 good Power Rangers games. A rare success for licensed games.

Power ranger games are actually generally good.
I remember when my dad brought this home for us as a rental in 1997,
Our young minds were blown
Sure hell a lot better than Sega genesis Power Rangers fighting game
Cool dad award.
This is one of the best looking fighting games on the SNES. People might think I'm insane for saying this but to me it looks noticeably better than SF2 even if it clearly isn't a better game. This looks surprisingly awesome though.

lol well that was random.

At least on the American end, I'm sure all those explosions cost a pretty penny for the original Japanese show.
Surprisingly it had more of a budget than shows like Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad which only had like 5 sets.
I just scored this game at an entertainment exchange store and never would have given it a second thought if I hadn't watched this video. Thanks SNES drunk!
If you wanna play a real ass kicking game on this style, Gundam Wing: Endless Duel is the answer.
I had this game as a kid and it's really good. The review don't lie.
Yeah, I was an NES kid. Things like Power Rangers and Pokemon were a bit past my time and as a teen I found them rather hokey. I can at least sort of appreciate them for their significance though, and must admit to having watched them from time to time.
This is the only fighting game I have ever liked. Me and my brother fought for hours on end. Even today it feels totally unique.
My personal favorite MMPR's game is MMPR The Movie on the sega genesis.
This is the game I was playing (from Blockbuster) when my parents old wooden tv finally broke. I remember I was fighting in that Zordon level and the screen turned yellow and distorted.
Ouch.
Power Rangers games on SNES are great. I have them on my phone; the original beat em up is my favorite.
will check this out. Keep up the good work, man, I really enjoy your channel (Saw it on Reddit I think).
That knock against review times, though lol
I was pleasently surprised when I borrowed this game as kid. Good fun! Western Gundam Fighting game xD
Wow! I used to play this back in the day in the early 2000's this game was the bomb. What a good game good child hood memories
I was thinking it looks like Endless Duel right before you said it!
I remember love going out of town just to play this with my cousins like crazy.
It's not that it's power rangers but rather if the fighting is fluid enough similar to street fighter 2. Look at justice league, it is a mess of a fighting game for either 16bit console.
This game made me realize that I really did like The Thunderzords more than the Ninja and Shogun Zords.
I don't like power rangers but this game is good .
Demolition Man, Batman and Alien 3 on Genesis are decent 16 bit movie licenced games that come to mind.
the first game i ever played on the super nintendo. along with batman forever.....
Really amazed those two games were your SNES firsts.
Usually games like Mario World, Zelda, or Street Fighter are people's first SNES games.
Skye Reynolds I would question whether I wanted to live if Batman Forever was one of the first games I played. It was a sad Christmas when I got that for SNES in Christmas 1995. Luckily I had been playing SNES since the beginning and had other games to play.

The first games I got for mine were Super Mario World, Super Bases Loaded, and Lemmings.
Unfortunately I don't have Lemmings anymore, because it got stolen from my house, along with Robocop vs The Terminator.
I rented home improvement once. It was the only thing in the entire store to rent the day before a major holiday.
I still have this on my 64
Home improvement...I used to have that game tho
The power rangers games (at least during the 16 bit era) had way more care and polish put into them compared to most other licensed games at the time.

My friend brought this game to my house and I played it. Lord Zedd gave me so much hard time but I managed to kick his butt. Ivan Ooze was a push over. I beat him 2 times in a row.
This is one of my favourites games of all time!
Damn those graphics though. Reminds me of the Gundam fighting games on the PSX. Nice sprites and animations.
No mention of Ivan Ooze being super overpowered?
I don't remember it having combo counters... is that some beta footage? or JP version?
I remember renting this game all the time as a kid. Easily the best power rangers game I ever played.
Me and my friends, which at the time were into Power Rangers Ninja Storm, played the SHIT out of this game. like....for hours and hours. No Shogun Megazord allowed, Nor Ivan Ooze. I wish the roster was bigger but by god it is so satisfying
The Power Rangers actually did pretty well on 16 bit consoles for the most part.
Fun game but it could use a remake with more characters including the mighty Morphin mega zord and dragon zord battle mode, unused pr monsters like party Crasher monster and senor bird cage vagabond, and other villains like Rito Revolto and Mondo the Magician.
As a kid, I broke at least one controller fighting Ivan Ooze on hardest difficulty
Great review! But where's my nice day? 😞
...
...Shogun Megazord iz the biggest zord!
Played it today for me compared to other fighting games on SNES it's pretty good

It's my favorite game. It was one of hell of a fighting. :)
I never played it, but it's got some gorgeous graphics.
Yeah like if someone doesn't like a game don't play but if we love it play it or I love it play it man
I played this game in the hospital thinking I was going to die as a kid
If you don't like the Power Rangers we cant be friends now, in my childhood, or in the distant unforeseeable future.
i like power rangers game when I was little kids
now i want to own this to my collection but now we know the price are not 12$ almost 200$ expensive
Good intro on this one
Wonder how Japanese fans of Sentai reacted to this game letting them use the Mechs/Characters from across THREE series?
LISTEN TO THE SOUND EFFECTS
ECHOING BUSHUM SHUM SHUM SHUMMM
KAPOW POW POW POW
BECAUSE THEY'RE BIG
AND ECHOS HAPPEN WHEN BIG
MEGAZORDS
this looks fuckin amazing thank you for the post
SNES NEVER GOT A GREEN RANGER ! Yet Sega did. I just wanted to play as Tommy and his "Dragonzord"!
(I played the sega one more.)
Wait, how old is SnesDrunk? I'm 38 and Power Rangers were a big thing and in the cinema when I was 12. Surely he cant be much older?
It does look pretty cool
How does this game and "world heroes" exist on the same system? Why does this look so much better?
Did you know mmpr fighting edition didn't released in Japan
kick ass game.
You should review power rangers on sega genesis.
how come you only reviewd this power ranger game? im offended
Check the date. One of the first videos I ever did
hook video games are the worst offenders when it comes to movie/tv show cash-grab games
....how old are you???
also, this is my favourite 2D side fighter. mostly because I'm actually good at it.
holy shit! u 'sound' the same as now! crazy! 👌🏼👹😶🌫️
i fucking love this game
True lis was good!
You failed to add in the one piece of game-breaking information about this game: Ivan Ooze is broken AF. Either player could select him to play in versus mode by pressing X+Y+Start, and not only can he fly, but his moves do crazy damage and he even has a Hadouken move that shoots multiple seeking projectiles (more if properly timed). I just fought a battle with my Ivan Ooze at the lowest power level versus Shogun Megazord at highest power level, and he didn't stand a chance. That's the highest-defense robot, and he couldn't even touch me. That's a problem.
9 characters
I never liked the fact that the dragonzord and megazord was not in the game 😢
"All the other reviews were 12-15 minutes...do you really need...." That's like every TH-cam video these days. "Hey, watch this drag race" - and the video is 15 minutes long. How does an 8 second drag race take 15 minutes....99% padding.
Time force is the best power rangers show even for a kids show
Y arent u ever drunk play contra wit me drunk on zsnes

There was another MMPR fighting game that sucked ass.
The Genesis version. It was...serviceable. Controls were just really stiff
Lol 😅 this game is like $45 now
