The Best Power Rangers Games, Ranked – Switch and Nintendo Systems
The current order is not fixed and is based on the overall user rating of each game, meaning things can change in real time. So if you haven’t had a chance to share your thoughts on some of your favorite games and want to chime in, you can click on the Star Rating of any of the following games and rate them out of 10. Who knows, you might even change the order of the list with your vote.
Without further ado, let’s take a look at the current power rankings (rangers)…
The first 3D version of Power Rangers on a Nintendo console, the N64 version of Light Speed Rescue combines isometric Ranger sequences with side-scrolling driving levels. Both game modes take place in vast, empty open spaces, complete with clunky animations, repetitive sound effects, and similar collection tasks.
The two-player cooperative mode is a plus, and it’s nice to see the series deviate a bit from the usual brawling format.
Power Rangers Megaforce not just a bad game – although it certainly is To be a terrible game — it’s also completely broken in places. While the copyright and fully voiced dialogue may appeal to fans of the show, there’s no denying that this game should never have been released in retail form like this. The game crashes, the card scanning feature doesn’t work, and the audio loops way past the point of insanity, very quickly becoming the video game equivalent of “Stop Hitting Yourself.”
It seems like the developers didn’t pay attention to the gameplay of Power Rangers Megaforce and no effort was made to fix the game’s many issues.
Power Rangers Super Force is a paradox, to say the least: it’s a dull, boring, broken mess that feels not only rushed but also devoid of any enthusiasm or passion. Even if you’re a fan of the series, there’s not enough to keep you entertained enough to warrant buying it. The Megazord battles are much more fun than the main game, but they’re few and far between, and not enough to make trudging through the rest of the game worth it.
Many people may want to try playing it to relive their childhood memories, but this game has nothing to offer you except repetitive, disappointing fights with nothing new.
Instead of taking the usual front-running combat approach (as was the case with the GBA version), Power Rangers: Dinosaur Thunder on the GameCube puts the Zords front and center.
It’s nice to see a Rangers game try something different, even if that “different” is repetitive collection missions with the occasional MegaZord battle thrown in for balance. Hey, at least flying around as the PteraZord is fun.
A rational approach Power Rangers Time ForceThe GBA version sticks more closely to the 2001 television series of the same name. Time-hopping levels add variety to the story, and the Rangers’ sprinting moves and collectible weapons make the combat a bit more engaging than in later Power Rangers GBA titles.
It’s not the best Rangers game out there, but you can still do a lot worse, even on the GBA.
Action-packed 2D gameplay found in Power Rangers Samurai It’s surprisingly fun and does a great job of bringing the series’ style to the DS. The graphics aren’t the best and the same enemies are reused too much in each mission. A few platforming elements and variations are sprinkled throughout to add variety, but things still tend to get a bit repetitive after a few hours.
Still, even with its faults, this isn’t the usual monetized licensed title we’ve come to expect and is well worth checking out for fans of the series.
Unlike its N64 counterpart, the Game Boy Color version of Power Rangers: Lightspeed Rescue plays like a simple side-scrolling game. There’s a lot more platforming challenge than the series’ beat ’em up entries on the Game Boy and SNES, and some pretty nice environmental pixel art to boot — even if the characters are a little simpler than we’d like.
However, if you like platform games and have a Game Boy Color in hand, this game isn’t bad either.
Power Rangers Mighty on the Game Boy is a heavily influenced version of the SNES version. This port splits the Ranger and MegaZord sections into alternating sequences, although the fluidity of each section is constrained to the pitfalls of the console’s specifications, with unstable collision boxes and many limited animations.
Hey, at least the Super Game Boy allowed for some unique color schemes for each Ranger…? If you want to play this game, check out the SNES version.
Power Rangers: Time Power on the Game Boy Color may be a simplified version of the GBA version, this one focusing more on clean platforming. It still has the same time-hopping storyline as the TV series, but the simpler graphics and stripped-down combat make it feel more sparse than its ‘Advance’ counterpart.
Luckily, the level variety is pretty good and the game never gets too repetitive. So, like the GBA version, you can do much worse.
Like its DS version, Power Rangers Samurai on the Wii is a side-scrolling action game that doesn’t lean as heavily on the console’s input gimmicks as we’d expect. Instead of swinging the Wiimote around to mimic an on-screen sword, the more classic button presses make combat a little less tedious, but increasingly repetitive.
Luckily, the visuals are a step up from the DS, so combat encounters are a little easier on the eyes. This isn’t the motion-capture cash-in you might expect, and for that at least we can be incredibly grateful.
There are many options offered in Power Rangers Wild ForceWith six Rangers to choose from, a variety of Megazord combinations, and 12 different levels, this is one of the most engaging titles in the franchise’s GBA roster and a welcome change from the side-scrolling games that dominated the console.
The isometric brawling gameplay is a love-it-or-hate-it loop that’s sure to be addictive or repetitive depending on your preference (we’re closer to the former). However, the eye-catching visuals and a bit of fun variety in the final Megazord battles help elevate things.
