About

Rampant ninja related crimes these days... Whitehouse is not the exception...

As soon as that occurs, a Secret Service agent asks two street-smart brawlers, the "Bad Dudes" named Blade and Striker: "President Ronnie has been kidnapped by the ninjas. Are you a bad enough dude to rescue Ronnie?" After hearing that, the Bad Dudes pursue the Dragon Ninja through the New York City streets, a moving big rig truck, a large storm sewer, a forest, a freight train on an old Southern Pacific line, a cave and into an underground factory in order to save President Ronnie.

Bad Dudes offers up a nostalgic slice of some of the purest arcade fighting action you could find in the late 80s salons and despite not being mandatory it is certainly a more enjoyable experience if you bring a friend to the ninja onslaught. Emulation wrapper kinks aside, the overall experience aged gracefully and it is certainly a great retro choice when you have some minutes to spare and just feel the need to take on an entire ninja army. President Ronnie won't be rescuing himself so if you think you are bad enough, we certainly recommend you consider adding this Data East classic to your virtual arcade Switch salon.

This port of the Data East arcade "classic" Bad Dudes vs. DragonNinja is pretty accurate, which is to say it's a perfectly average, competent beat-'em-up. It's full of funny moments which may or may not be intentional (and probably aren't), and that alone is honestly its biggest appeal.

If you have nostalgia for the original game, as I did, you might enjoy Bad Dudes. Unfortunately, it's no longer available for purchase on the eShop as of this writing in 2025.
