Have you been looking for One Strike on the Nintendo Switch eShop recently? Well, unfortunately it’s been taken down for the time being due to stolen music that’s been found in the game.
The track in question is from the Famicom title Mouryou Senki Madara, which can be heard here:
Here’s the track as it appears in One Strike:
After publisher QubicGames was made aware of the issue, they acknowledged it on Twitter, claiming that they hired a composer to create the game’s music, who passed this off as an original track:

All the necessary actions will be taken:
– informing Nintendo of the situation and asking them to stop the distribution of the current version
– preparing and releasing a new version of the game with another track as soon as possible— QubicGames (@QubicGames) 15 October 2018
There’s no word yet on when the game will be back up on the eShop.
What do you think of the situation? Do you have One Strike in your Switch library? Let us know below.
