''Bad Dudes'' (or ''Bad Dudes vs [=DragonNinja=]'') is a side-scrolling BeatEmUp by Creator/DataEast for the UsefulNotes/{{arcade|Game}}s and ported to the UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem. The plot, [[ExcusePlot 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 [[Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger looks like he could be]] VideoGame/DukeNukem's uncle informs you that the President has been kidnapped by {{ninja}}s, and asks you if you are a bad enough dude to rescue the President. The correct answer is to [[ConservationOfNinjutsu 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.

* PaletteSwap: 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. The DegradedBoss versions of Karnov and Animal, Kusamoci Karnov and Zombie Animal, are the same guys with weirder skin colors.

* {{Eagleland}}: Bad Dudes saving the President of the US in a game made in Japan. A lighthearted use of the positive version. ''Complex'' magazine even named it the number one "video game where you kick ass in the name of America."
