History YMMV / PowerRangersNinjaStorm

Same reason as before.

One person\'s opinion. Why does it matter? Why is this one person so special that he has to be mentioned on every single page on this wiki relating to Power Rangers. He isn\'t. Nobody cares about this one person\'s opinion.

* Adaptation Displacement: \'\'Press Your Luck\'\' was a revival of the 1977 ABC game \'\'Second Chance\'\', also by Bill Carruthers. * Funny Moments: ** Some of the Whammys, including one that lampshaded contestants\' cries of \"Big Bucks!\" by bringing out a large deer. —>\'\'\'Whammy\'\'\': All I hear is \"Big Bucks! Big Bucks!\" — I\'ve got your big buck! (\'\'deer walks on-screen\'\') Heh, heh. ** April 3, 1984: Karen Martin asking for, and getting, a \"pool table for Dan\" (her husband). She hit a Whammy later on. ** October 22, 1984: Mabel won by default because the other two contestants hit four Whammys. Unfortunately, her score was $0, which caused Peter to stumble around a bit in total disbelief. When the show returned from break and he had composed himself: —>\'\'\'Peter Tomarken\'\'\': \'\'Press Your Luck\'\' winner Mabel, now is the time when Rod Roddy tells you everything you\'ve won! Rod? —>\'\'\'Rod Roddy\'\'\': Yes, Peter? —>\'\'\'Peter\'\'\': What\'d she win? —>\'\'\'Rod\'\'\': Bupkis! * Moment Of Awesome / Game Breaker: Michael Larson. * Special Effects Failure: Slides occasionally went dark, dim, or otherwise glitched out. On August 23, 1985 a slide actually \'\'blew up\'\', meaning that they had to stop taping and finish up that episode the next day. * The Problem With Licensed Games: Oy. ** The Wii version drew massive input from the fans (as requested by a Ludia representative) and could easily draw reference from a fan website dedicated to the show\'s myriad board layouts...and Ludia \'\'still\'\' managed to screw the game up. Here\'s a fan review. ### Having the Big Board cycle between three static layouts — one with two Whammys, one with \'\'seven\'\' Whammys, and one with \'\'no\'\' Whammys (these are 4-5-0 in Round 2)...but as these trailers show, it could\'ve been a \'\'lot\'\' worse. ### Forcing the game to end immediately if you Whammy-Out while facing off against the computer. ### Having AI opponents that lacked the \"I\", rarely getting more than two spins per round and pose very little challenge. Upon their turn, they will usually pass their spins immediately. ### Failing to support the Mii avatars. The in-game \"Ludians\" not only \'\'look\'\' dumb but have apparently never seen the show before (much like this game\'s developers), mashing the buzzer several times to ring in on a question or stop the board. ### Using \'\'no prizes\'\' except generic trips worth $3,000 in Round 1 and $4,000 in Round 2, which considerably breaks Move One Space and Pick-A-Corner by removing half their purpose. For example, the classic Round 1 choice of \"$100/$200/$300 + One Spin vs. [nice prize of unknown value]\" is now \"$100/$200/$300 + One Spin vs. Generic Trip Arbitrarily Worth $3,000\". ### Having Big Bucks always redirect to \'\'said generic trip\'\' in Round 1 instead of the big-money square ($1,000/$1,250/$1,500). This playthrough shows the absurdity of this at 4:21 and 4:49, as the player hits Advance Two Spaces in Square 10 (which wasn\'t there in the actual show) which leads to Big Bucks... —->\'\'\'Host\'\'\': Big Bucks! You win-You won a trip! A value of...$3,000! ** Adding insult to injury was the Updated Rerelease for the PS3 — it contained the actual theme, a looping board sound, and \'\'\'actual prizes\'\'\'. ** The DS version managed to be \'\'even worse\'\' — there\'s only a few Whammy animations (none of which you can skip), the Big Board doesn\'t even have its usual space structure, and your reward for clearing all the \"episodes\" is a credit roll \'\'you can already access from the Options menu\'\'! * They Changed It Now It Sucks: By early August 1985, the Big Board had settled into a respectable configuration for both rounds. During the final season, however, the Round 2 layout had various slides needlessly moved around while nearly the entire board was in flux, with values going up and down so often that the ultimate victim ended up being Pick-A-Corner — the day the slides went neon was when the once-\"fixed\" directional square began breaking, as the values in the other three corners never remained static for very long and consistently conflicted with each other (including three layouts where players chose between \'\'identical values\'\'); instead of correcting the problem, Pick-A-Corner was simply replaced on July 25, 1986 by a $1,000 + One Spin slide. *

^{(The space returned for \'\'Game Show Marathon\'\' in 2006, but remained broken.)}

* What An Idiot: ** May 16, 1985: Linda, behind by over $7,000, thought a trip to Tokyo would give her the win rather than an additional spin. Her opponent Patrick, who won because the trip was worth just $2,900, looked and acted a whole lot like he was being played by Dan Ackroyd in a Game Show Appearance. ** June 2, 1986: One guy took $500 + One Spin to try and win the game himself, rather than take $2,500 and end the game in a non-zero tie. Didn\'t work. ** 2009: The Ludia game\'s computer opponents who are Too Dumb To Live, not knowing what 6 x 4 equals. (24.) ——
