Ahead of it’s Japanese release a week from now, Capcom has published three new videos for Onimusha: Warlords.
Specifically, two of these videos focus on the title song of the upcoming remaster, “Cleave ~Ittou Ryoudan~”. While one is a brief commercial for the game with the song previewed in the background, the other is a message from the performers — a Japanese rock band named Rookiez is Punk’d.

Rumor: Switch eShop to be renamed to “Nintendo Switch Online shop”
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Random, Switch | 0 comments
Nintendo of America recently filed a lawsuit against a man selling NES Classic Edition and Switch consoles with pirated games. Essentially, the illegitimate NES Classic had 800 ROMs for $15 above the retail price while the fake Switch hardware used Team Xecuter’s SX dongle and pirated games. Nintendo is going after this person on nine separate infringements. It’s interesting and we expect Nintendo to prevail here, but there’s something else from the situation which might be even more noteworthy.
Included in the lawsuit document is a tidbit about the Switch eShop. It calls out the “Nintendo Switch Online shop” that was “formerly Nintendo eShop”.
What could this mean? Will the Switch eShop be getting a simple name change? Is Nintendo planning a more in-depth makeover? Only time will tell.
