In case you didn’t know (like me up until the other night), Saban Brands bought back the rights to thePower Rangerlicense. Saban wants to make thePower Rangersa household name once again, and it’s starting off with the newPower Rangers Samuraiseries premiering on Nickelodeon next week.
What’s that have to do with videogames? Well Namco Bandai will be working on newPower Rangersgames for “all major consoles and handheld home console videogame platforms.” Unfortunately, that’s all Namco have to say for now.
I’m not embarrassed to say it — I loved theMighty Morphin Power Rangers. I grew up with the series, so this is just awesome news. GO GO POWER RANGERS! Namco had the newPower Rangersteam at the preview event, and there are some pictures of them in the gallery.
Most important, there’s also a shot of the Pink Ranger playing theBody and Braingame for Kinect. I just want to travel back in time and tell my 12-year-old self that the future involves watching the Pink Ranger stretch around in her tight pink jumpsuit to play videogames controlled with your freaking body. I love my f*cking job.
