A few weeks ago, Digital Eclipse made a surprise announcement - revealing an "all-new" Power Rangers adventure would be releasing at some point in "late 2024". Unfortunately, at the time of this reveal, console platforms for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind were not confirmed.
It seems we have a slight update on this via the Digital Eclipse website (thanks for the tip, 'MartineXIII' on X). When you click the "buy now" button, the game is apparently available to purchase on multiple console platforms, including the Nintendo Switch eShop - with the link directing fans to Nintendo's digital store website.
Apart from the Steam page, the links for the other versions of this upcoming release don't actually follow through to game pages just yet, but it does appear to at least confirm this retro-style action multiplayer game mixed with beat 'em up action and much more is on its way to Nintendo's hybrid platform.
If you didn't catch our original post, here's some back story about this upcoming release:
"In Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind, the team faces off against a robotic reincarnation of the Power Rangers' long-time nemesis. Robo-Rita has conjured a portal to send herself back in time so she can finally vanquish the Power Rangers by forming an alliance with her younger self. Working together, Robo-Rita and Rita Repulsa rewind, rewrite, and remix the past in an attempt to stop the very formation of the Power Rangers, altering the course of history.
"Will the two Ritas and their army of monstrous enemies from across the MMPR timeline finally succeed in destroying the Power Rangers? Or will these teenagers with attitude learn to work together and counter this catastrophic chronological collaboration?"
If we hear any updates about this title in the immediate future, we'll be sure to let you know. As previously noted, Digital Eclipse is the same team behind Switch games and collections like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection, Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection and Disney Classic Games: Aladdin And The Lion King.
Looking forward to this upcoming release? Let us know in the comments.

Well, there goes one new announcement for tomorrow's Direct. We're down to 39 minutes of new stuff to be shown.
I mean... it's kind of inevitable that itll be on Switch. makes me reminiesce of the days of the arcade beat em ups when i was younger.
NL, it was not a "slight update". The listing for platforms was there the whole time since that game's announcement.
Expected, but it's nice to have a confirmation. Can't wait to play it.
Yeah, there's no way this game wasn't coming to Switch, lol.
Game looks great though, one of the few highlights from SGF.
I mean they'd have to be pretty insane to not release a Beat 'Em Up on a console with Co-Op available at all times due to each Joycon being able to work as a separate controller.
The real question is: will it be on the VCS?
That's ironic being as I recently got 2 of my close friends into Redemption Reapers and mentioned just today that the mages from the game look like Rita to me and sent a gif of her. That's too funny.
Day one for me. Only question is Switch or Steam Deck.
Well that's money already spent.
It's so weird seeing them make their own game for a change. It's like when GameFreak releases a non-Pokemon game.
Glad the franchise is getting something because Hasbro has basically abandoned it.
After playing Shredders Revenge and all the other TMNT games I think Power Rangers is the next step. 😁
P.S. the series had the most beat em' ups on GBA Time Force, Wild Force, Ninja Storm, Dino Thunder, and SPD Emergency!
👊 ❤️💙💛🖤🩷💚 👊
I don't get many games day 1, but Cowabunga Collection was one.
Fantasy Life i and Mighty Morphin' will also be day 1!
I'm really loving all of these licensed beat-em-ups we're getting. I would put this at the top of the hype list, with Toxic Crusaders next, and finally G.I. Joe. There is something that feels off about Joe, but I hope I'm wrong...
This actually looks awesome!
@WhiteTrashGuy that G.I. Joe. game has a demo on Steam, I played it and "feels off" is putting it nicely
This looks like a blast! I really loved the TMNT new-retro style game, so I'll have to get this too. The vibe is so similar!
Would be surprised if this never came to Switch but still, nice to have some confirmation and fingers crossed it will show up during the Direct!
I loved Power Rangers in the 90's as a kid. This will go perfectly in my collection next to Shredders Revenge & Cowabunga Collection. Keep them beat em ups coming!
I'll take physical copies for Switch & PS5. Also the Steam version for my Steam Deck OLED.
I was a little too old to want to watch Power Rangers, but have seen a good sampling of of the Japanese sentai TV series that sired it. I’m all for quality licensed beat’em ups, and sentai shows are perfect for that treatment! I trust Digital Eclipse will capture the fun, campy spirit of Go-Go Power Rangers.
I’ll look forward to seeing it in the Direct today!
