Data East’s 1988 arcade beat ’em up Bad Dudes Vs DragonNinja is coming to the Switch. According to the eShop, the game is due for release March 21.

Here’s a brief overview:

“Rampant ninja related crimes these days… Whitehouse is not the exception…” As soon as that occurs, a Secret Service agent asks two street-smart brawlers, the “Bad Dudes” named Blade and Striker: “President Ronnie has been kidnapped by the ninjas. Are you a bad enough dude to rescue Ronnie?” After hearing that, the Bad Dudes pursue the Dragon Ninja through the New York City streets, a moving big rig truck, a large storm sewer, a forest, a freight train on an old Southern Pacific line, a cave and into an underground factory in order to save President Ronnie.

Bad Dudes Vs DragonNinja will be priced at $9.99.
