''Bad Dudes Vs DragonNinja'', also called ''Bad Dudes Vs. Dragon Ninja'', often referred to simply as ''Bad Dudes'', and known in Japan simply as , is a 1988 arcade game developed and published by Data East. It was also ported to many computer and game console home systems. The game was followed by a spiritual successor ''Two Crude Dudes'' (known in Japan as ''Crude Buster''). After Data East became defunct due to their bankruptcy in 2003, G-Mode bought the intellectual rights to the arcade game as well as most other Data East games and licensed them globally.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bad Dudes vs Dragonninja - DATA EAST GAMES )〕 The game is a side-scrolling beat 'em up where the players are set in the role of the titular duo tasked with rescuing "President Ronnie" from ninja kidnappers. It was met with commercial success, and a generally positive to mixed critical reception. It has since become widely known for its general premise and introduction cut scene. ==Gameplay== The gameplay of ''Bad Dudes'' is roughly similar to the 1985 Konami side-scrolling arcade game ''Rush'n Attack'' and the 1984 side-scrolling beat-'em-up ''Kung Fu Master'', but allows up to two players to play at once. Player One controls the character named "Blade" wearing white pants and Player Two controls the character named "Striker" wearing green pants. Players start with the ability to do basic punches, kicks and jumps. Some moves are special like spinning kicks and the ability to charge themselves up with "inner energy" (Qi) by holding the punch button to throw a powerful long-range attack that hits all opponents in front of the player. Players will also come across several power-ups; some are weapons like knives and nunchakus and some recharge a player's health, and yet others add a few seconds to the remaining time.〔 The various types of enemies encountered in the game have their own means of attack. The basic blue-colored ninja directly charge the player, while some leap with their swords, or throw shuriken and makibishi; there are also acrobatic kunoichi female ninja, attack dogs, and even people who are on fire. The enemies may be beaten down or avoided. Most enemies can be beaten with only a single hit of any kind, and multiple enemies can be defeated with one hit if they are standing close together. At the end of each level, one of the "super warrior" bosses will appear which needs to be defeated to progress to the next level. The first of them is Karnov, who cameos from the Data East game of the same name;〔Closing credits of ''DragonNinja'', the Japanese arcade version of ''Bad Dudes VS. DragonNinja''.〕 the background music during the fight with him is similar to the main theme in ''Karnov'' as well. Each boss has their own special attacks: Karnov, for example, can breathe fire at the player. At the successful completion of each level, the dude(s) strike a "bad" pose and proclaim, "I'm bad!". The shout, and the game's American wordmark logo are both similar to the Michael Jackson song "Bad" released the previous year. In the Japanese version of the game, this quote was originally a battle cry. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bad Dudes Vs. DragonNinja」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
