It would have made sense, right? A side scrolling Power Rangers arcade brawler in the style of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time or Streets of Rage, but it never happened in the golden age of the genre. Following the arcade brawler's new lease on life in recent years, Digital Extremes is here to finally make it happen in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind, with a reveal trailer having come out of today's Summer Game Fest showcase.
And the new Power Rangers game looks quite good indeed, reminiscent of the recent Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredders Revenge as a real labor of love to do the genre and subject matter justice. The make or break for a game like this is definitely how it feels in the hand, but I can already tell Rita's Rewind nails the look and sound, with gorgeous, detailed pixel art environments and one of those jammin' chiptune soundtracks you would have expected out of an old Konami arcade cabinet.
