Ever since tmnt shredders revenge it seems like everybody has to have there own beat'em up based on a show from the 80's or 90's.

Whenever I see one of these- I inevitably think how much better I would like it if Treasure, early 90s Capcom staff, or the IGS PGM teams could’ve programmed it.

If the games are good, who cares? I doubt they’ll be good though. Like you said it’s people looking to cash in.

I like Power Rangers enough to dig this.

They didn't really show off a lot of the beat'em-up gameplay, but the rollercoaster and bike stages actually looked really damn cool.

The Natsume developed SNES game was good fun as I recall 30 years ago. No idea if it's held up.

I loved MMPR The Movie on Genesis. Legit fun beat em up. I'm sure I'd still like it.

I do like the look of them although it feels a little disorienting to have side scrolling stages that look like they're imitating Mode 7 and first person/over the shoulder segments that kind of look like a high definition approximation of System 32.

What the hell actually happened to Treasure. Did they do anything after Ikaruga ?

They did contract work including working on shmups that went out under other company's names, and sin and punishment on the Wii.

I can't believe I'm saying this but it looks alright, looks.

Weren't we all in our mid to late 20s when Power Rangers hit?

I mean...yeah we all hold on to our fagit childhood fixations but this seems like it came after most of us were set on our goobdom. Maybe I'm wrong.

I was either 5 or 6 years old when power rangers hit. They completely destroyed me and lost all my interest when season 2 came out and the cast was different and i never watched it again. Lol

If it came out in 93, I was 16 and even then I thought it looked like garbage.

I get that my age group was into transforming robots and anthropomorphic reptiles with a rodent father figure, but you can't honestly say that power rangers were anywhere in the same league as TMNT, Transformers, GIJOE, MotU, etc.

I was 23 when Power Rangers was a thing. So yeah, well after the years when it could have latched on as a childhood fixation.

My nephew, born in '87, was in to Power Rangers when he was a kid but he would call it ghey today.

I think the reason it doesn't compare to the stuff from the 80s, at least in my mind, is that it wasn't a home grown product conceived and developed in the USA, unless you consider that Saban used a lot of footage from Super Sentai but repurposed it for American audiences. The live action looks cheesy, even by 80s standards, and we all knew we were getting a distaff version of something that already existed.
