Bad Dudes (or Bad Dudes vs DragonNinja) is a side-scrolling Beat 'em Up by Data East for the arcades and ported to the Nintendo Entertainment System. The plot, such as it is, goes as follows: There are rampant ninja-related crimes these days, and the White House is no exception. A guy who looks like he could be Duke Nukem's uncle informs you that the President has been kidnapped by ninjas, and asks you if you are a bad enough dude to rescue the President. The correct answer is to beat up an army of ninja, while shouting "I'M BAD!!!", and repeat until the President is rescued. Said President thanks you for your troubles, and suggests burgers for lunch.There was a crowdfunding campaign for a sequel. Sadly, it never reached its goal. | |

Bad Dudes (Video Game) / int_1282bf4f | comment |
No Celebrities Were Harmed The President was changed from Ronald Reagan ("Ronnie") in the arcade version to George H.W. Bush (just "The President") in the NES version, since Reagan was no longer president when the NES version was released. One of the bosses is a Road Warrior/Legion of Doom lookalike named "Animal". | |

All There in the Manual: The third boss, a green ninja with ability to create duplicates of himself, is the only boss character unnamed in the ending cast roll. However, Gamest's coverage of the game refers to him as Kamui. | |

The Cameo | |
Bad Dudes (Video Game) / int_1b65dfad | comment |
The Cameo: Karnov, hero of his self-titled Data East game, is the first stage's boss. He later reappears as a normal but tough enemy, sporting the same grey coloration he has in the NES version after he's taken damage. His official name is "Kusamoci Karnov".note Kusamochi is a green Japanese rice cake made from a type of leaf. | |

Bad Dudes (Video Game) / int_2557e3a9 | comment |
Palette Swap: The three basic types of ninja mooks (Zako, Nage, and Buki) are the same sprite with different colors for their outfit (blue, black, and red), while the boss of Stage 3 is a green ninja who can make duplicates of himself. Likewise, the female ninjas (Kunoici), the short clawed ninjas (Mini), and the swordsmen (Kabuto) come in multiple colors, with slightly different attack styles for each color. The Degraded Boss versions of Karnov and Animal, Kusamoci Karnov and Zombie Animal, are the same guys with weirder skin colors. | |
