As a long-time fan of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, I can hardly contain my excitement! The Nintendo Switch version of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind, which was previously delayed, is now confirmed to release on December 10, bringing all platforms in sync.

The developers of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind, Digital Eclipse, announced on social media that the Nintendo Switch version of the game will no longer be delayed and is scheduled for release on Tuesday, December 10, along with other platforms. However, certain online features for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind will still be delayed and are expected to be added in a post-launch update.

Initially unveiled at the 2024 Summer Game Fest, “Rita’s Rewind” is a retro-style 2D beat-em-up reminiscent of the ’90s. Players can assume roles as Jason, Zack, Trini, Billy, and Kimberly, and control the Dinozords to vanquish the colossal monsters terrorizing Angel Grove. In addition, the Rangers will engage in battles against Robo-Rita, a robotic duplicate of the longstanding series antagonist Rita Repulsa. Originally featured in the Netflix special “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once and Always”, Robo-Rita has traveled back in time to aid her younger self and impede the Power Rangers during their initial period. “Rita’s Rewind” will offer both online and offline multiplayer options, with plans for up to five players to join concurrently.

The original release date of the Switch version for Rita’s Rewind, which was scheduled for December 19, has been changed. According to Digital Eclipse’s recent announcement on social media, the game will now be available on all platforms, including the Switch, starting Tuesday, December 10. This means that the Switch port of Rita’s Rewind is no longer delayed, and it will launch simultaneously across all current platforms. Digital Eclipse has confirmed that some online features will be released post-launch, with two-player online co-op play on PC and PlayStation available first. Xbox and Switch players can expect to access two-player online play a few weeks later. However, offline couch co-op for up to five players will be included at launch. Digital Eclipse mentioned that the delays in online play are due to technical issues that need more time to properly resolve.
