Nintendo Switch fans looking forward to playing Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind are going to have to wait a little longer than originally thought, as the Switch version has just been delayed until December 19. While 2024 has been a relatively dry year for the Power Rangers franchise, Hasbro and developer Digital Eclipse announced Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind, a retro-style beat-em-up starring the original Teenagers with Attitude, during June’s 2024 Summer Games Fest.
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind features all the side-scrolling action and pixel artwork of the classic Power Rangers beat-em-ups of the mid-90s with a few modern twists like 3D Megazord battles and rail shooter segments. The plot of the game also ties into last year’s Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers: Once and Always reunion special, with the evil Robo Rita going back in time to assist her past self in destroying the Rangers once and for all. With not much else planned for the legendary franchise for the foreseeable future, Power Rangers fans are naturally excited to jump into Rita’s Rewind when it launches on December 10.

Unfortunately, it has been confirmed that Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind won’t be released for the Nintendo Switch on the previously announced launch date.

Additionally, online play won’t be available on the Xbox and Nintendo Switch versions of Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind for at least a few weeks due to unspecified “technical issues,” though this won’t affect two-player co-op on the PlayStation and Steam versions or offline multiplayer on all platforms. Rita’s Rewind features local co-op play for up to five players, allowing friends to team up as the core Power Rangers team members or the unlockable Green Ranger.

Fans of the long-running Power Rangers franchise have been waiting for almost half a year to play Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers, which promises to deliver a blast of nostalgia for both the original series and the side-scrolling beat-em-ups of old. Some of these fans hope to see games based on later Power Rangers seasons should Rita’s Rewind prove successful when it launches next month across all current gaming platforms, even if Nintendo Switch players have to wait a few more days to jump into the morphinominal action.
