Bandai of America explained it to us at Toy Fair 2014.

There was no marketable gimmick in Go-Busters. Goseiger/Megaforce had cards, Gokaiger/Super Megaforce has keys, and Kyoryuger/Dino Charge has batteries. Go-Busters had nothing - it was an attempt by TOEI to make a radical change to Super Sentai and it did not resonate at all - all time low in ratings and sales. To that end, with an unmarketable toy line (every toy line needs a gimmick now) it was a mutual agreement by Bandai of America, Bandai of Japan, Toei, and Saban Brands to allow Go-Busters to be skipped.

Keep in mind - Toei and Bandai of Japan get a cut of the Power Rangers pie, as it's shown in their yearly sales spreadsheets.

Also - the clip of Wizard is from the "Super Hero Time" bumper at the beginning of each episode of Kyoryuger until Wizard concluded. Saban Brands attempted to reattain the rights to Kamen Rider but no agreement could be reached, hence why the "Power Rider" trademark was abandoned earlier this year.

No speculation needed - another Kamen Rider in the United States is not happening by Saban Brands. Thread closed.
