Pronunciation Check: AXELAY

[Damaramu]

So, how do you pronounce it:

AXE-LAY

or

AXEL-AY

or

AXEL-LAY
???

The katakana on the SFC cart doesn't help to much, reading as AKUSUREI. Phooie.

[Damaramu]

BTW, I've always pronounced it AXE-LAY. :wink 2:

In the Japanese the u in the "ku" would be weak so

a-ku-su-re-i

Would be ak-su-rei

So axe-ley would be the most correct.

I always pronounced it Axel-lay... but Revquixo's explanation makes sense.

[rbudrick]

I always said Axel-ay, but I never did see the katakana. Since there is no e or a after the ku su, you can't pronounce what isn't there!

God knows why they didn't just name the game Axlay or Ax Ray, LOL

Axe-lay it is.

Always been Axe-Lay to me. Never really thought it could be pronounced otherwise...

Axe-Lay

The other pronunciations sound very strange indeed!
