God I hope this is true...

According to CHR_AeON from Neogaf, "In the latest edition of german games magazine "M! Games" there's a small article about Snap Dragon Games (developer / publisher of, amongst others, "Karate Phants" (WiiWare)). They are currently working on remakes of the following
Data East games: Bad Dudes Vs. Dragon Ninja (XBLA, PSN) Karate Champ (XBLA) Tumble Top (XBLA, PSN, WiiWare)"

Nothing says late 80's like Data East arcade games, particularly Bad Dudes Vs. Dragon Ninja, which recently has gained popularity by way of humorous internet memes.

If a new Bad Dudes does make it's way to a game system in the near future, I hope that they keep the tradition of having the player rescue the current U.S. president from the nefarious Dragon Ninja clan. It will be a historical event and will mark the first time a Democratic and an African American president has been kidnapped by ninjas.
