get that OUT of my face
Feb 10, 2007

When I was in second grade, I went over to a girl's house and we played this game most of the way through. I think we made it to the first Megazord level? I forgot. It's not that memorable, but it's a serviceable beat-em-up, and this show was where it was at in the '90s, so make a good enough tie-in game and you've got easy sales.

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.

I feel bad for Billy's actor. Apparently a lot of the production crew bullied him for being gay, which led to him contemplating suicide and eventually quitting the show.
That's unfortunate. But at least he's alive, which you can't say about the woman who played the Yellow Ranger. And no, the guy who played the Red Ranger did not go on to make gay porn. Nice fact about the guy who played Skull, by the way.

I have a bad feeling, based on nothing but a hunch, that the new Power Rangers movie is going to be a box office bomb.

It was a cheat code, the game gives it to you when you finish it.

Since we're going on a nostalgia trip here, I want to say that the badguy in the latest video, Eye Guy, was in that episode where Kim and Billy befriend a blind girl and help her overcome her disability. Then Rita decides to be a complete bitch by creating a monster who has nothing but eyes. I think he's one of the few monsters that doesn't get into a giant Megazord fight either---they just kill him by combining their weapons into that giant Toys R' Us Crossbow thing of theirs. Contrary to how boring of a boss fight he is in the game, I just recall he was one of my favorite MMPR monsters when I was a kid. I could also have this totally wrong and it was another monster entirely.

That was not a good representation of Zack (with a k) in the game. That was the first time I saw a water level where you benefit from being gimped.

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)

You're totally wrong, and I'm pretty sure you must be combining it with the Gnarly Gnome episode (the monster from the previous video).

Oh man. I played this game as a kid. Just seeing it is bringing me memories, good times.

That said, I sure as hell didn't realize how lazy the Rangers themselves look. At least the three shown are all recolours of the same sprite (Red's) without the helmet differences each Ranger had. Lazy!

No this time around he's a big ol' face in a wall that comes out like one of those pin toys you can stick your face in. Rita is some kind of ranger killing witch monster and Goldar looks nothing at all like his show counterpart. He just looks like a giant winged monster made completely of gold. I'm really not looking forward to the movie. Early Power rangers didn't need to be dark and gritty.

Honestly, I'm hoping that they edited the trailers to make it seem like "Captain America, For Kids!" when it's really "Breakfast Club with Superpowers"

Can you also pass through the laser while it's still firing in Megaman? That sounds like it'd be great for speedrunning.

The lava flow in X5 is exactly like the laser, but is an instant kill, and it destroys the enemies for you. It also comes from nowhere.

We don't need to have that dialogue because it's obvious, trivial, and has already been had a thousand times.
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.

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.

So the game ends with entirely different gameplay than the rest of the game. That's...that's really weird. I get that the Megazord had to be in but you can't just suddenly substitute the entire gameplay for the final two bosses.

Also our protectors of everything good sure drive like poo poo. They'll end up in a horrendous traffic accident. Please sit down properly, Kim, Zack. Get inside the car, Trini, Billy. Stop driving around the exact same place, Jason. Jesus christ.

I guess, in the end, what truly matters is that Bulk and Skull got a cameo.

Natsume disagrees strongly. At least in future Power Rangers games they developed, the Megazord Battles were more consistent.
