Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind will make you feel like a kid again

During the Summer Game Fest live stream, a new Power Rangers beat-’em-up titled Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind was announced. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind is being developed by Digital Eclipse and published by Hasbro. Digital Eclipse normally specializes in remaking and remastering old games such as The Making of Karateka, Disney Classic Collection, and many others. Rita’s Rewind, however, features all of the classic Rangers you’d expect with a slightly new art style. The action-filled trailer showcases five players going up against classic Power Rangers villains like Goldar as they try to stop Rita and her robot twin from messing with the events of time and space. Jumping from rooftops to beating up the weird putty monsters in back-alley brawls, the gang is focused on stopping Rita’s evil schemes. The trailer doesn’t stop there, though, with the Power Rangers’ trusty Zords also get in on the fun, showing off sequences of on-rail shooting as players pilot the different robot beasts to break up the action. For fans of the early-’90s TV show or latecomers to the Power Rangers franchise looking for something new to dig into, Rita’s Rewind could be the next family outing. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind does not have a hard release date, but you can wishlist it on Steam now. It is set to release sometime in 2024 on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and Steam. What if jumping in a challenging platformer like Celeste or Super Meat Boy was impossible? That’s the idea at the core of Splodey, a new game from Send It Studios and influencer-owned game publisher Mad Mushroom. A surprise release at June 4’s OTK Games Expo showcase, Splodey is a platformer where players must throw potion bombs to propel themselves forward rather than jump. Clearly inspired by speedrunning-friendly platformers like Super Meat Boy and Celeste, Splodey changes how just one core mechanic works to craft a unique identity of its own. This next week or so is going to be full of surprise launches and exciting game announcements, but if you can take some time away from those to try a new game, pick up Splodey.
A platformer where players can’t jump
Splodey has the pixel art aesthetic and simple story of a retro game. It’s about the titular character, who struggles to make potions that don’t explode at the Academy of Potion Making, so he decides to take down the entire establishment. From there, players are let free to complete four worlds worth of platforming challenges. Splodey can’t jump, though, so it must use those explosive potions to propel itself forward to the portal at the end of each level. Despite its small library of games, the Nintendo 64 has its fair share of hidden gems. That’s especially true of its multiplayer collection, which contains a host of bizarre and charming split-screen titles. Those kinds of local multiplayer experiences are harder to come by in the age of online play, but Glitch Busters: Stuck On You might just scratch that itch. I’ve had less extra cash to spend on gaming in 2025 than usual for one simple reason: babies are expensive. Yup, I’m expecting my first kid in the next few weeks, and so most of my spending since we found out has been on getting the nursery ready and buying all the necessary supplies like diapers, onesies, and swaddles. Seriously, there’s so much needed for a baby that I didn’t realize.
