Well that particular issue comes from the romanization of Japanese. The standard romanization of しゅ is "shu", but people sometimes enter "syu" into the keyboard as well or just go ahead and write it this way. There are plenty of other examples, such as つ which could be written as "tsu" or "tu" (incorrect) or し which is can be written as "shi" or "si" (incorrect). Japanese people mess this stuff up all the time because entering "si" into a keyboard makes for sense when you think in line with the other kana  (sa, si, su, se, so) and it's faster than typing "shi".


This is incorrect.  "shi" and "shu" are Hepburn romanization.  "si" and "syu" are usually Kunrei-shiki romanization.  Both are considered legitimate.


THIS.

F.e. see this "official made by HFG japanese peeps" Densya de Go label:

Yeah, it's used all the time. Still makes me wince though. Why not use the romanization that makes sense and is the easiest to ready by non-speakers? Then again, Japanese game companies have a long history of putting the minimal amount of effort into their English translations, mostly to hilarious ends.

I wonder why they even bother to romanizate all the titles from begin with when they are supposed to be sold in Japan only anyway. Still a nice to have service for all the non-speakers/readers.

but sometimes it also turns out in like this:
