Go, Go Nintendo Lifers! It's Morphin Time, folks, because we're about to run through the very best Power Rangers games on Nintendo systems as ranked by you lovely lot.
If you grew up on any console from the SNES to the Switch, then the chances are that you will have stumbled across a Power Rangers game at some point. For a brief spell in the early 2000s, these games were churned out on a yearly basis, with fresh faces adorning the box art to correspond to whatever series happened to be out at the time.
With this in mind, the following list is far from wall-to-wall bangers, but there are a whopping 22 games to peruse, from the mighty to the not-so-mighty, including Digital Eclipse's Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind.
The current order isn't set in stone and is based on each game's overall User Rating, which means that things can change in real time. So, if you haven't had a chance to share your thoughts on some of your favourites yet and you want to get involved, you can click on the Star Rating of any of the following games and rate it out of 10. Who knows, you might even change the list order with your vote.
Without further ado, let's see the power (rangers) rankings.

Today I have discovered that there are Power Ranger games, more than 20 no less.
The fact that 17/21 of these games have a player rating below 7/10 makes me suspect I may not be missing out on too much. 🤔
It always impresses me just how many super specific game franchises have dozens of games.
The #1 entry contains a weird sentence in the second paragraph.
Doesn't seem like I've been missing out on much. None of these seem to be on the same level as some of the best Ninja Turtles games, if one were to compare them to anything.
I have Wild Force on the GBA. It could be difficult at times (that Forklift Org boss always gave me grief), but it was a mostly enjoyable experience. It definitely had decent replay value in trying to unlock all the Zords to create new Megazord combinations.
I just don't know why Toxica used her powers to revive and make the Master Org grow to gigantic size when she had already been defeated in the game, and also the fact that she turned against him in the show by the time he assumed his final form.
Battle For The Grid really should be #1 to he honest... The SNES movie game is ok, but fairly unremarkable and not as good as Fighting Edition. Battle For The Grid and Fighting Edition are the closest the series has gotten to games that are good on its own merits regardless of the licence. Both are very good fighting games.
@Bonggon5 I was big into it as a kid (mainly Wild Force and Ninja Storm), but by the time Dino Thunder rolled around, I lost interest. That being said, I would not mind watching more of Time Force, especially since the actor who played the Red Ranger in that season, Jason Faunt, is from my hometown. We even attended the same high school! Although, he graduated in 1992, before I was even born.
Really hope the new one will blast past the rest of the entries in the series. Going through the previous games actually makes me less interested in the upcoming game! So much shovelware…
But really I do hope the new one is the first to push an 8/10 or better for me in the series.
Battle for the grid is way too high on this list!
It should be last
The ONLY reason it is as high as it is, is because of the costumes/characters in it.
It is a bad fighting game. Controls are horrible. Movement is stilted.
Backgrounds aren't varied. There are like three of them.
Even buying the game is a pain in the butt!
Too many editions to choose from and the character DLC is also too confusing. Some are unlocked with certain editions some only in a pack and some individually but if you buy some, you need to purchase them again to get others.
Some are no longer available.
@Bonggon5 if you were old enough to comprehend the feeling of something being cringe then im guessing you were too old. I was 6 and i remember it being soo awesome. The robots and transform power, and them being able to get retransformed into a trex. It was wild back then. But yes i would not watch it as an adault
@Bonggon5 Most seasons are a bit cringe but some of us watch it for the actions. There are a few that does had great story build-up such as PRiS, Time Force, Dino Thunder, SPD, and RPM but in-between those there are also cringe fest such as Turbo, Operation Overdrive, and Megaforce/Super Megaforce.
Never really played any power Ranger games
But Battle For The Grid is very good 😊
Are any of these ports of the brilliant Sega Genasis game?
Sure looks like pretty much all these games suck. Fascinating.
@marandahir
No
@marandahir
That’s the one I remember playing as a kid. I liked it at the time, although Sonic 3D - of all games - was the one that held my interest then.
The only other Power Ranger game I played was on the PC sometime in the late 90s. I remember the first level being in the city and ended with you on the rooftops. The second level was in some factory or something and was extremely dark. I never was able to get past the first part of that level.
I had no idea there were so many!
@DrewBA77 Ironically, it repeats a word in the act of accusing the game of being repetitive.
There's a Ranger game on the PS4 that I wish was on Switch.
Great list, but it’s missing the best Power Rangers game of all, the Game Gear game.
@HOUSE
This is only for Ninty releases
@Spider-Kev oh ok. That makes sense.
I’m still holding out hope that if Rita’s Rewind does well enough it convinces them to do a cowabunga collection style collection of the 16 bit and portable games. I believe the Sega Genesis MMPR game was published by Sega themselves, not sure if the same is true for the movie one and the Game Gear ones, but I’m sure they can work with Sega on those rights. I’d love to have the SNES, Genesis, GB, and GG MMPR games all in one place on the Switch. Also throw Zeo Battle Racers in there as I never knew that game existed and Zeo still has most of the same team from MMPR so it would make sense to put it in the Zeo game as well

"I'll never understand people who like comic books as adults."
"I'll never understand people who like animated movies and TV shows as adults."
"I'll never understand people who like dressing up for Halloween/conventions as adults."
"I’ll never understand people who like video games as adults."
No game for the Dino Charge series - the single greatest piece of art ever created, but looking at this list maybe it’s no bad thing.
I want to mention Choujin Sentai Jetman for famicom. Although it's super sentai, it's really a good game compared to most game in this list. And I consider jetman as power ranger predecessor as it's popularity made power ranger what we know today.
The Genesis version of the movie clears 99% of this list. Also prefer the SNES MMPR over the Movie. Also the Game Gear games are solid too. Seems really weird not to include those games.
@Bonggon5
Some of the shows have fun characters, fights, awesome music and cool looking robots. Also the especially from the early seasons have great fight scenes given they were doing their own stunts
