"<Holds up arms> I'm Bad!"

The effect Bad Dudes vs Dragon Ninja had on me is something I'd like to call the "Dan Hibiki Effect". The Dan Hibiki Effect when something is so horribly bad, that it's entertaining in a way and it's fun. Other things with this effect is Time Killers, Clayfighter, the movie Manos:The Hands of Fate, Atomic Runner, hell even Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing, though I've never played it... Maybe even World Heroes...no that's just underrated(IMO).

Story: (10/10) Final Fantasy ain't got nothing on Bad Dudes! This story is the most classic intro since the opening of Zero Wing. Ninjas have kidnapped the president! Are you bad enough to save the president? Who needs a love story(the bad dudes have fell in love with a female ninja!) or an evil plot(The ninjas plan to jaywalk!) We just need those 2 sentences.

Graphics (7/10): Nothing special really, it's average. The animations are satisfactory as are the backgrounds. Nothing really fantastic. A lot better than the horrible translation onto the NES.

Sound (4/10) I never pay attention to sound, only music which was annoying(also the "I'm Bad!" little end thinggy is cool). When the ninjas die they disappear. Wow. Nifty. And they say AUGH! or something. Then I say "I'm Bad" and everyone's happy.

Gameplay (8/10) : Kick, they die. Punch they die. One basic kick can kill 5 men. Wow. I want those powers! Die emo person<kick>! I'm Bad! They could've been more innovative with the platforms and stuff.

Value (10/10) : It's a quarter. Part with it. But two of them can buy you a honeybun. What to choose. What to choose! AUGH!

Well....that sums it up....my head hurts. I'm gonna end this now. Congrats...you just read a review by a half-insane 15-year-old.
