'Bad Dudes vs DragonNinja' came out in 1988, weird fact is that for the NES versios of the game, in 1989 the game was named 'DragonNinja' for the japanese version and in 1990 'Bad Dudes' for the american version,
it wasn't until later in the year 1990 that there was a European version under the full name 'Bad Dudes vs DragonNinja'.

The game brings us the general gameplay experience for classic beat 'em up games that we can place next to the 'Dragon Ball' series,
but instead of saving the girl you will have to save the president this time.
With the help of pickups for HP or weapons you will also pass the stages more confidently,
towards the end of each stage you will also be confronted with a boss.
The game also has support to play with a friend locally or even via remote play.

Well, it's Bad Dudes alright. It still looks great and the environments vary a lot during its quite short 30min playtime. The gameplay hasn't aged especially well, feeling a bit clunky. And the difficulty-balancing is very arcade-machine-focused, meaning its less about skill and more about pumping more and more (virtual) coins into the machine as you die over and over while buttonmashing your way to the end. I'd recommend this to anyone feeling like a stroll down memory lane. But if you don't have any nostalgia for this game, you probably won't get much out of it.

I used to go to Pistol Pete's Pizza back in '88 practically once a week just to play this in the arcade when I was 10 years old in the fourth grade. The NES/Famicom port was "okay" but it never lived up to the arcade experience to me. Here I am at age 43, thirty three years later and I FINALLY have this sucka Arcade Perfect. (No I never bothered with MAME). For fans of roving brawlers / beat 'em ups (especially with 1980s cheese factor and Ninja craze) you STILL can't go wrong with this game. Don't expect Streets of Rage 4 or Double Dragon Advance or anything super duper... but it's still fun to play. IT'S A BUTTON MASHER, you gonna die a lot just to beat the game. But it's so worth it. *** I'M BAD! ***

Classic arcade beat'em'up - fully ported with 2player capabilities, ninja punching nostalgia and the ability to feed in coins for lives without loosing all your pocket money... this time...

Remember playing this with a school friend in 88 89 during the school holiday, loved the ninja theme, ninjas were everywhere during the 1980s, main heroes or antagonists are inspired by Bruce Lee you can tell,
level 2, as a kid was blown away by the wheels on the truck animation and the cars for that time was impressive.
We did not complete it as did not have much money but a Great memory of a Great game like double dragon,
all those muscles through out the 80s with our action hereos and my dad inspired me to workout, like anything its in your genes or blood, Blessings to everyone reading this. :) definetly recommended

Bad Dudes Vs Dragon Ninjas I was lucky enough to play this classic when it came out in the Arcades and on the NES. This is a repackage of the Nintendo Switch port done a little while back. It is a good port it plays the way it should, it is however a little bare bones in the option settings, a few screen choices and not much more, sadly It does not have a difficulty select or anything available, these were quarter munchers back in the day and the ability to change difficulty can sometimes make these games way more fun. I am looking forward to the rest of the games they have already released on the Switch we will most likely be getting Sly Spy, Joe and Mac 2 and most importantly Night Slashers, please keep them coming :)

The president needed a bad enough dude. Chuck Norris was too awesome so I answered the call.

I'm BAD!

"Being bad never felt so good"

You can beat the game around 20 minutes, but the childhood memories last for a life time.

Pros:
- Good old beat 'em up action direct from the 80's arcades
- Cooperative action for two players
- A very nice soundtrack
- The President is a cool american guy
- You can kick ninja butts as an american warrior
- Smells like lemon

Cons:
- Lack of achievements. Even a game for literal little girls like My Little Pony A Maretime Bay Adventure have them.
- There's no dip switches options like the real arcade game.

Only recommended if you're a nostalgic player or like to collect old oddities.
