A wierd little question: Power Ranger villain game

So as I play as an Evil Genius, it struck me that Japan has an action tradition just as cheesy as some of these spy movies, POWER RANGERS!

So, has there every been a game in Japan or anywhere else that lets you play as the villain in a Power Ranger/Super Sentai world?

    Nothing I've ever heard of. Seems like it could be potentially neat, though.

    I'd make my monsters giant to begin with then make those fuckers grow.

    Beat that shit Hypercondo Megazord.

    It seems like that would be a cool strategy RPG but I don't think a Sentai game has ( or will) ever focus on the villain.

    Never focused on the villain, but there was a Power Rangers fighting game on the Genesis that had both Ranger and Megazord fights.

    The more I think about this the more I like it. The goal would be to lose( you can win but winning early gives you bad endings) but still make the fight tough for the heroes.
    Every loss gives you better equipment ( the hero side would upgrade at set intervals based on your level) and monsters,new side missions( unlock the evil seal on a demon ,make an evil "ranger" etc.

    I just picture a redemption victory, an evil victory, and a here we go again victory.

    It could all be an evil insurance scam/evil pyramid scheme.

    Yeah, you could play as the villains in this game. I remember really enjoying it as a kid.
    Of course, that doesn't say much.
