Bad Dudes (NES) Review

I only remembered this game for it's infamous quote line. Yes the president has been kidnapped by ninjas, and I'm a bad enough dude to rescue the president. 

The game itself is kinda Double Dragon meets Ninja Gaiden. You run around with punches and kicks while various kinds of ninjas come out of nowhere to put your head on a silver platter. 

The game itself has graphical problems such a glitching which really effects trying to see what any of them are trying to do to you. I for one have a hard time seeing one pixel ninja stars that are half invisible. Good luck getting to the end of the stage though. 

At the end of a stage you are treated to a boss fight, which aren't that bad. I enjoyed fighting the ninja-claw boss dude quite a bit. It's a shame that the game will reset if you die too much. Seven hard stages of brutalness too, not a fan of that. Ronald Reagan can stay kidnapped, I'm a Democrat anyway. 

Score: 4 out of 10

Double Dragon II Remake Coming to XBLA

Things I Like: Double Dragon (NES)

Double Dragon was a huge hit back in the day, and for the strangest version the NES Double Dragon is one of the most played and remembered. 

Not to say the arcade version wasn't a hit. I'm sad to see them take it off XBLA due to copyright concerns when a company folded. 

The NES version took a huge hit in graphics, and there was no Co-op. More like single dragon if you ask me. But it does have a bit of it's own style and it's a bit unique compared to the other DD ports. There was even a decent vs. mode.
