Well, I've got some good news, and some bad news.
Good news is, we're finally getting a next-gen Power Rangers game.
Bad news is, it's from the developers of WWE Crush Hour. :(
These fucks seem determined to destroy any game concept that I could possibly love. I'd bet these assholes probably had something to do with WWF Betrayal also, but I have no proof of that.
Oh well, here's hoping for the best.

It took some work, but I think I fixed all your mistakes, and said what you truly meant to.Quote:

You know what, Korly? You and I are probably the only two here looking forward to this . . . or the only two who aren't pussies and can actually admit it in public.
Strangely enough, I liked the Power Ranger games for the SNES. I'm actually looking forward to this. This is weird.
Power Rangers and WWE games... It's not like the liscences were works of art in the first place.Quote:

I kid, at least about the Powa Ranjaz. WWE, I'm only maybe kidding a quarter. :p
I actually think a sentai* game done right would absolutely kick (Viewtiful Joe was a step in the right direction), but the odds of this being such a game are slim to none, as this teams superiors will likely give them a dev time of a few months and a crappy budget knowing full well that whatever unpolished trash they throw on shelves will sell fine because to the liscence attached. Sad.
*sentai = shows featuring masked superheroes fighting intergalactic menace
Was there ever a cool Sentai game for JAP PSOne? I thought I heard about an old game called Geppy-X or something that was like a 4 disc set, but I never saw it, or played it.
I'd like a really cool Power Rangers/Voltron/some other giant transforming combining robots game, but I don't think it would ever happen.
In a perfect world, you'd start out in the command center, or the castle, or base or whatever, get an alert about grunts running around (putties, etc) and teleport down to fight them. This would be Streets of Rage style, and when the going got tough, you'd morph into PR form, and have noticably more butt kicking power, cool weapons, and perhps ever secret powers ala Dino Thunder power mode. Then, the giant bad guys would attack the city, and you'd call your zord to go attack him. You'd drive the zord around in it's own seperate mode, and if shit got really out of hand, you (and up to 4 other people in online co-op mode) would combine all of your zords/robots into the big ass MegaZord. Then, it'd go all "War of the Monsters" as you fought in the city streets, possibly getting bonus points for not fucking up the whole town.
A guy can dream, can't he?
That was super-original. :rolleyes:Quote:

By the way, this is the game I was talking about:
http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/psx/data/23720.html
Anyone ever played it?
Power Rangers for the Sega CD pwns!
The power rangers still exist?
I did not know that.
Werent the Power Rangers created when Ultraman molested a gay, underage, boy?
Just kidding, the white ranger is the shit.
Which one?Quote:

You mean Tommy. Tommy is the best Ranger, period. Green, White, Red, Black, no matter what color he is, he's always the best.
i remember the first Pink power ranger

Even stranger is me watching this show on a semi regular basis.
Ninja Rangers were better anyway. :chunobi:
Yep. It's quite easy to make a Power Rangers show, considering all Saban has to do is remove all the scenes where they show the Japanese actors unmasked and spliced in footage of westerners.Quote:

Since I do not fall into that category, you are wrong. :p
And in case anyone was wondering, that there chicky that Korly posted is the Yellow Ranger.
Korly, I haven't exactly been keeping up on my DinoThunder. Care to clue me in as to who the White Ranger is?
And who is the sixth Ranger? Or hasn't the series gotten that far yet?
There's no sixth ranger (I didn't even know there was supposed to be one in this) and the white ranger is Trent: son of Anton mercer, former part-time worker at Hayleys Cyber Space, and love interest of Kira.
Oh, right. His dad's the jerk who worked with Tommy on some unmentionable project on a mysterious island a while ago. I remember now.
Yeah, there's a sixth. There's always a sixth. They're calling him the "Phantom Ranger" this time, and he looks decent. If you buy all of the electronic talking DinoThunder figures, they each some with a piece of the Phantom Ranger so you can build him up when you collect them all.
Incedentally, has the Red Ranger gotten his Triassic power yet?
Nope. They call that Abare-Max in the Japanese show. I saw a little bit of the japanese show, and never saw a sixth ranger! That's pretty cool though, now I have something new to look forward to.
I'd totally pay money for this:
http://www.japanhero.com/game%20revi...urricanger.htm
And an evil pirated ROM of this would be nice:
http://www.japanhero.com/game%20revi...er_famicom.htm
Well, I'm only going by what the toys are telling me. You may very well be right.
I was very close to buying the Brachio-Baton (or whatever it's called) at Wal*Mart today. For $15 bucks, it's a decent purchase. As a matter of fact, I think I might just purchase one tomorrow.
I'd totally pay money for it, too! In fact, I almost did. NCSX had preorders for it, and I bought one but ended up canceling for one reason or another. Now, I don't own a JPS2 anymore, but this game makes me want to get my domestic unit modded.Quote:

And I think it's a shame that all the Zeo Rangers got was a crummy pinball game (which I own). Zeo was probably my most favorite series, due nearly entirely to the Machine Empire. Such awesome villians they were. I miss them. :(
Also, have you seen those features, man? Check it out:
Free roaming worlds and 18 freaking Zords?! I'm alreay there, man.Quote:
* Over 50 different missions and mini-games in 10 free-roaming worlds
* Control 18 different Zords, including ones from "Power Rangers Ninja
Storm" and "Power Rangers Wild Force"
* Megazord battles with special power-ups as in the show
Perhaps, but she was still damn hot back then.Quote:

I now have this sudden urge to watch an episode. Shame I don't have my TV hooked up to watch stations.
I'm pretty sure that's a PSOne game. At least, in the link I sent you, it says Playstation, comes in a regular jewel case, and has the Playstation logo in the upper right corner.Quote:

I tried looking up the game at NCSX and they're sold out, and there was no mention of it whatsoever at Video Game Depot.
Well, damn. Ninja Storm did have a JPS2 offering, if I'm not mistaken. But I very well could be.
And while I'm at it, what is the White Ranger's Zord? Another flyer?
It's the Drago-Zord, which I guess is supposed to be a dragon, but it looks like a big white Pterodactyl to me.
I'm probably number three then, and only because I was on vacation for a week so I couldn't have been number 2. I pretty much stopped watching when Turbo came on. The fact that the blue ranger was a kid, and morphed to an adult was just a little too far for me. As of late me and Korly have been watching PRDT and I think it's the best one since the original cast, hearing that Tommy was coming back made me mark out like I was 12 again.Quote:

See, it might be cool, but it'll probably have nothing to do with the older seasons, and none of the old cast. Dino Thunder ties into all of the old seasons, thanks to Tommy, and there was that cool episode where they recapped ALL of the old seasons. In fact, a few of the actors from Dino Thunder originally showed up on Ninja Storm (Cassidy was one of the bad girls from Ninja Storm, Conner had a "cousin" that attended the Ninja Academy, who was played by the same actor he is, and a few other little nods have occured throughout Dino Thunder).Quote:

Dude, I thought that Hurricanger WAS on PS2 . . . are we having this conversation all over again, because it sure feels like it.
Nah, that's PS1
Well damnit.
I want the game regardless of what system it's on.
Sorry for the misunderstanding.
HAH! Going back and reading the first page of this thread, it's the SAME damned misunderstanding, and it's all my fault.
Sorry. :)
i'm big on the power rangers myself. i fell off after lost universe or space or whatever and came back when time force was going on. didn't like wild force, or ninja storm, and not too keen on dino thunder....but i am patiently awaiting the american release of
http://www.jacklynes.com/timefire/images/deka-top.jpg
deka(cop)ranger.
i have the first 2 episodes from a friend of mine. he's an even bigger sentai dork than i am. but....anyway, i think this show owns every other ranger show along with time force and the original 3 or 4 seasons of might morphin'.
1. emergency
2. dekaranger
3. action
4. perfect
5. GET ON!
Rama... I've got 7 of Deka, but I still think DT is the best since the original. If for nothing else because of all of the tie ins.
hmmm, tie ins, eh? when does this show come on?
I just saw the first three eps on my DVD, and the tie-ins are fantastic. From things as subtle as the Yellow Ranger's first fight mirroring the Pink Ranger's nearly completely and the Red Ranger exclaiming "Have a nice trip, see you next fall," just like the original Red did in his first fight, to Tommy admitting that he's done this "a couple times before."
The show is fan-freaking-tastic. Kicks most other ranger shows in the nuts.
Those "cop" Rangers look slick. I hope we get that series over here.
In episode 18 Kira finds a photo of the ORIGINAL rangers, and makes fun of Dr. O's hair.
http://www.will-powered.com/dino/ima...sode18/011.jpg
HA-HA! That's awesome. Anyone know when the next DVD is releasing?
I got that PSOne game I wanted in ISO form, but I'm having problems with the ePSXe audio working on my computer.
It's probably illegal to talk about on this board, and if so, anyone who can help is encouraged to Im or PM me. Thank you.
I don't even have ePSXe, nor do I know where to get it . . .
*winkwinknudgenudge . . . PM ME DAMNIT*
Any pictures of these dekaranger zords or the megazord or anything?Quote:

That's part of the theme song, with fantastic engrish. ONE!!! EMARGANCY!!!! TWO!! Dekaranjah! Three! Action! Four!! PAHFACT!!! FIVE!! Ready to Go!

Dino Thunder DVD is available in the US. It's got the 1st 3 eps of DT and the last 2 eps of Ninja Storm.
American Deka Ranger comes on whenever Dino Thunder started, but next year. February I think.
COOL! So the SPD is deka, eh? I'll be catching this whenever possible.
Check this link. It's everything you could possibly want to know about the Rangers, from Mighty Morphin' to Lost Galaxy.
http://www.rovang.org/wg/wgindex.htm
are there other ranger seasons of power rangers on dvd?
You can get some of Ninja Storm on DVD, and I think there might be some Wild Force. Also, there are 2 PR movies on DVD, and a PR "Best of" DVD.
As far as full seasons go though, unfortunately they have nothing.
However, me and Korly are on a holy Quest to get all 500+ episodes.
The Power Ranger knowledge scares me, alhough my fixation with Rent-A-Heeelooo NUMBAH VUNNNN doesn't, oddly enough.
Like Korly said, it's a niche.
Yup. Also, have you tried eBay for DVD-Rs of the eps? I would imagine that some fansites would also offer tape trading as well. Some eps were also released commercially on VHS, I remember having to watch them with my uncle when babysitting him years ago.
The fuck?!Quote:

As big a PR fan I am, I can't stand Turbo, or anything haveing anything to do with it (except "Forever Red," which fucking rocked; BEST EP EVER). But I'll buy the damned movie . . . AGAIN, for the completist in me.
As far as I know, you can, in fact, get some CD-R, and now maybe even DVD-R recordings of whichever season you desire. I've thought about picking them up, cause you never can have too much PR. :D
Since this has turned into a Power Rangers fan fest, I have a few questions since I quit watching the show around the time of the 2nd movie.
1. Are they still continuing the same storyline? I mean, is it still taking place in the same universe that had Zordon, Alpha, Zedd, etc.?
2. What happened to Zordon, Alpha, Billy, Zedd, etc.? Especially Zedd, since I always liked him.
And I think thats it. I was a huge fan of the Power Rangers for awhile. But then they kept changing the cast (the original was the best IMO, well, the original + Tommy as the Green Ranger, and the Green Ranger Saga was just one of the most awesome things ever on TV IMO) and eventually I just quit caring.
Same universe, yes, as they all take place on Earth or the immidiate vicinity thereof, but there are hardly any references made to any past Rangers series (sans Dino Thunder) like the first three seasons.Quote:

It's definitely the same universe, and in Dino Thunder there are a LOT of references to the old stuff. I miss Zedd also, but I don't miss the original cast AT ALL.
I only liked Tommy and Jason. Alpha 5 and his "Ayyiyiyiyiiiiii!!!" got old around episode 2, Zordon looked really fuckin' stupid (stupider in the Power Rangers movie though), Ernie from the juice bar was a douche, and Bulk and Skull didn't get cool until Zeo Rangers. Also, the replacement rangers are the worst humans ever, with the possible exception of Adam (Aisha, Rocky, Kat, and that piece of shit little boy can all go straight to hell though!)
I think that Dino Thunder owns every other PR show, 5 times over. Also, it ties in directly with the previous season, Ninja Storm (the 2nd best season in PR history).
If you really wanna know about the story, go here:
http://www.rangercentral.com/
I miss Zedd, also. I remember after seeing the MMPR movie in the theater (on opening day, no less), and seeing his brand new, super-cool "Hollywood" outfit, I thought that maybe we'd start seeing that same getup in the TV program. No such luck. :(Quote:

That site is pretty damn smooth, Korly. Thanks for sharing. I don't, however, feel like digging at the present time, so if you wouldn't mind relating just how the two seasons tie in together, I'd appreciate it. :)Quote:

I just bought my first ever Megazord (teehee!)! The new Dino Thunder Blizzard Force Megazord.
It's HOT! Much cooler than the Dino Thunderzord, though I do, in fact, like the Thunderzord.
The Blizzard Ptera Zord looks the same, and it functions the same, too, but it has a paint job with green replacing all of the yellowness of the original. The Blizzard Tricera Zord (which is actually no long a Triceratops, but a Anchiceratops) has undergone some major changes, with an near entire resculpt! It is now more of a blue-gray with shorter red horns and a much more broad shield plate. Also, you can detatch the head of the dinosuar (turning it into a shield) to reveal an actual hand! The Blizzard Tyrano Zord (which is no longer a T-Rex, but an Allosaurus) has undergone the most significant change, turning from red to blue, recieving a neck-crest of red, and a full head resculpt. I can't comment on the body and whether it has been resculpted, as I don't own the Tunderzord and cannot do an exhaustive comparison. Also, you can detach the tail/drill portion of the Tyrano Zord, revealing another hand and creating a pretty cool sword for the super-robot in the process.
BEST FIGURE EVER!
Ninja Storm and Dino Thunder are related in several ways:
Connors cousin went to the Wind Ninja academy (his twin actually. In fact, it was the same actor. He can be seen joining the school in the final episode of Ninja Storm). He mentions this during the episode of DT "Legacy of Power"
When Elsa talks about bringing the first monster to attack Reefside, she says "Those idiots will think Lothor has returned!" or something like that. (Lothor was the main baddie of NS)
The actress who plays Cassidy in DT is the same actress that played one of the main baddies in NS.
And there are others too, but none that really come to mind right now.
Well, I've never seen past ep 3, and when I had actually been in a possition to catch a new ep on Jetix at 8:30am, it was a rerun of the first ep. :/Quote:

I know who Lothor was. ;)Quote:

Also, I remember that part in the episode. Incedentally, Elsa and the Principal are the same woman, correct?
HA! You're right! Capri was her name? I think.Quote:

You see, when you said that Ninja Storm and Dino Thunder have a lot to do with one another, I thought you meant concerning continuity, like the island research facility was blown up by Lothor or something like that. :p
And to this day, everytime I watch an ep of Ninja Storm, I think of SNL.
That the $40 one?Quote:

It is the most sexy Megazord to date.
Here's a pic of the box:

and a pic of the actual fig in Megazord mode:
http://www.kbtoys.com/g/toys/big/127339C.jpg
This thing makes me EXTREMELY excited to see it in action in the show.
NEW INFO concerning the Blizzard Force. First of all, it disappoints me to say that it will probably NOT be featured in the US airing of Power Rangers Dino Thunder. :(
From what I understand this particular Megazord (named Bakurenoh in the JP series) is very seldomly featured in the the Abaranger (JP Dino Thunder) series (aprox one episode); however, it is featured predominantly in the Abaranger movie. Unfortunately, the US rights were only secured for the TV production, and not the movie, so they have EXTREMELY limited footage to work with. Since a lot of the giant robot footage is in CG, though, something may be worked out. *hopeful*
Also, this Megazord is an evil Megazord. It is Mesogog's, and is composed of only TWO Blizzard Force Zords, not three, Arctic Tyrannozord and the Arctic Tricerazord ("Blizzard" was chosen over "Arctic" as the US moniker), the Blizzard Ptera Zord is an extra included in the US release of the toy.
Both the Arctic Tyrannozord and the Arctic Tricerazord (which are modeled after a Carnotaurus and a Chasmosaurus, respectively) are viewable at THIS PAGE at the very bottom. There is also a small picture of the Megazord standing alongside the Dino Thunderzord.

It's from Abaranger Deluxe: Abare Summer. I know I've seen it somewhere.
Do you own it? Can I pay you to record it for me? Please?
I got it from IRC... Korly was getting it from Bit Torrent somewhere.Quote:

I can handle a little eyeball burn. :)
Thanks.
Tonight on I Love the 90's they'll hit 1993, which means Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Last night they had Walter Jones and Amy Jo Johnson on there, so here's hoping we'll see the rest of the cast (Thuy Trang excluded)
Supr has Seasons 2 and 3 of MMPR up.
No room on my HDD. You'll have to handle those.
I wonder if there's ever gonna be any new info about this game.
Nate is getting them, you will of course be able to get them when he's done.
The GBA version is available now through the usual channels. I was reading the GameFAQs board for this, and I found a guy who totally knows what's up:
Seriously, I couldn't have said it better myself.Quote:
Power Rangers is dose not suck its still as good as when it was first on (ninja storm was not good) but Dino thunder from what I've herd has Tommy so it will rule I live in uk we still have not got Dino Thunder
As far as the game goes, the Megazord fights are pretty cool, and as you collect auxillary zords, you can change them out for the tricera and tyranno arms in your big fights. The side scrolling levels suck, and the puzzle levels are kind of a pain in the ass, but it's GBA, what did you expect.
More info here: http://www.thq.com/minisite.asp?upc=32166
It was supposed to be in stores today, but they didn't overnight it, so who knows when it'll show up.
God, it totally sucks.
That was the best sequence of posts by the same poster ever.
He's serious, it BLOWS.
