“That’s right, I was definitely in love with you—or rather, I’d made up my mind to love you. Because you were ‘an adult’. Now that I think of it, you never took me seriously.”

Back when my tears were still sad
My heart tightened inside my chest and it hurt
What are you supposed to do in moments like that?
They don’t teach anything about it in school
I had no choice but to let it all out mumbling under my breath

Yes, the people who chase after them just the same
End up seeming way too earnest

I always thought they were something you had to hold back

Staff (A Certain Magical Index, Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?)'s original work depicts high school students competing in a fictional figure skating team competition called "Skate-Leading."

Synopsis:
"You'll never beat me." Kensei Maeshima quit figure skating after the words from his rival Reo Shinozaki. A few years later, when Maeshima becomes a high school student, he makes use of his motor nerves to spent his days as a helper in various club activities without devoting himself to anything. One day, he watches a press conference in which his rival Shinozaki switches from a single skater to Skate-Leading, an original figure skate team competition. Then, a boy named Hayato Sasugai appears in front of him. He also seems to know that Maeshima had previously performed as a single skater, and invites him to the world of Skate-Leading, saying "I need you."

Rhythm Game Song of the Week - ウッチーズ - Don't let it go
Going to take a slight break, but here’s a cool song in the meantime.
ウッチーズ, or Ucchies, is the combination of brothers Tomoyuki and Hiroyuki Uchida. The former is known in Bemani as Mr.T, not to be confused with the actor and non-jibberjabber-taker. They also have an alias they’ve used outside of Bemani, Dream Line Out. This song is actually a remix of a song done under that alias; the original can be found on their album “gentle melodies”.

Me dirijo a vosotros para hablaros de un título indispensable para comprender la Historia de los Videojuegos: Golden Axe.
Tras el increíble éxito cosechado con Shinobi en 1987, el flamante Team Shinobi de SEGA dirigido por el diseñador japonés Makoto Uchida volvió a utilizar la placa Sega System 16 para lanzar en junio de 1989, Golden Axe, un nuevo arcade con desplazamiento horizontal Yo Contra Todos -género comunmente conocido Beat 'em up o Brawler- que se convertiría en una de las sagas de videojuegos más importantes de la historia. Este potente circuito de 16 bits que tuvo dos variantes: System 16A y System 16B gestó inolvidables recreativas como Action Fighter, Fantasy Zone, Alex Kidd The Lost Stars, Tetris, Wonder Boy III, Ace Attacker, Sonic Boom, Alien Syndrome, Altered Beast, Dynamite Dux, Flash Point, Sonic Boom [no confundir con Sonic, el erizo azul, ya que se trata de un estupendo shooter] o nuestro amado Shinobi.
Placa Sega System 16B
CPU principal: Motorola MC68000 a 10Mhz.
CPU de sonido: Z80 a 5 Mhz.
Chip de sonido:Sound chip : Yamaha YM2151 a 4 Mhz + Nec uPD7759 a 640 Khz.
Tras echar moneda, en Golden Axe podemos elegir tres personajes diferentes. Cada uno de ellos con sus correspondientes habilidades y además, cada uno de ellos también dispone de un tipo de magia diferente.
Axe Battler, un bárbaro con espada que usa la magia terrenal.
Tyris Flare, una amazona con espada que usa magia de fuego.
Gilius Thunderhead, un enano viquingo con hacha que utiliza la magia del rayo.
Pueden jugar dos jugadores simultáneamente y el objetivo del juego es encontrar y destruir al villano Death Adder para liberar al rey y a la princesa, y recuperar la legendaria "hacha dorada" robada. También debemos saber que el malvado Death Adder mató a la madre de Axe Battler, a la madre y al padre de Tyris Flare y también al hermano de Gilius Thunderhead, así que estamos obligados a ayudar a cada personaje a vengar las muertes de sus seres queridos a base de monedas.
Para facilitar las cosas, cada personaje tiene movimientos especiales que se activan presionando [saltar] y [atacar] al mismo tiempo o pulsando dos veces consecutivas la palanca hacia la derecha o hacia la izquierda para cargar contra nuestros enemigos. También podremos recoger alimentos para mejorar nuestra salud, golpear a pequeños "duendes azules" para que suelten sus pociones que aumentarán nuestra magia e incluso, podremos cabalgar sobre extrañas criaturas. Ideas y conceptos sencillos que hacen de Golden Axe un juego activo, divertido y adictivo que atrajo y sigue atrayendo a millones de jugadores en todo el planeta.
Es natural que con un juego tan grande como éste, diese lugar a secuelas, spin-offs y multitud de conversiones para la mayoría de plataformas digitales que existen en la industria del videojuego.
Para rendir homenaje a toda la saga hemos seleccionado los siguientes títulos con los que os ofrecemos, de forma gratuita, un tono o melodía que os gustará volver a escuchar.
Golden Axe (Arcade, SEGA, 1989)
El arcade original contó con el talento del compositor Tōru "Master" Nakabayashi, un artista musical que ha colaborado en videojuegos de SEGA como Virtua Racing, Burning Rival o Scramble Spirits. Melodías, gritos, jadeos y efectos de sonido que podrás tener ahora en tu móvil.
Os dejamos con uno de los temas primordiales. The Battle.

Golden Axe (Megadrive/Genesis, SEGA, 1989)
Tras el flamante éxito de la recreativa, SEGA publica a finales de 1989 en Japón y a comienzos de los noventa en Europa y Estados Unidos, una estupenda versión para su videoconsola Genesis/Megadrive. Se trata de una adaptación impecable a nivel técnico y que además cuenta con una banda sonora acreditada con los nombres de: Nankyoku, Decky, Imocky.
Os dejamos con un tema un poco loco pero absolutamente genial titulado Sutakora Sassa! mezclado con algunos gritos...

Golden Axe II (Megadrive/Genesis, SEGA, 1991)
En 1991 SEGA lanza la primera secuela oficial: Golden Axe II, un cartucho para la Genesis/Megadrive que aunque se parece demasiado a su antecesor en todos los aspectos, el trabajo de Naofumi Hataya, un artista muy relacionado con Sonic The Hedgehog, en el apartado sonoro, es más que reseñable.

Ax Battler: A Legend of Golden Axe (Game Gear, SEGA, 1992)
Ahora le toca al turno a la videoconsola portátil a todo color de SEGA, la Game Gear, con un entretenido spin-off titulado Ax Battler: A Legend of Golden Axe, en Japón Ax Battler: Golden Axe Densetsu, que podría definirse como una especie de juego de acción RPG con reminiscencias al mítico Zelda II.
El sonido chiptune para los 8 Bits de la consola está muy cuidado y se le atribuye al compositor japonés Keisuke Tsukahara, acreditado como PP Chung, un hombre importante en SEGA que ha colaborado en sagas tan importantes como Shinobi y en otros títulos como Galaxy Force, Alien Storm, Shenmue II, Virtua Tennis 4 o Daytona USA.

Golden Axe: The Revenge of Death Adder (Arcade, SEGA, 1992)
El prestigioso estudio SEGA AM1 R&D Division sorprendió en 1992 con una recreativa memorable: Golden Axe: The Revenge of Death Adder, un virtuoso trabajo que exprimió la placa Sega System 32 ofreciendo mejores gráficos, mayor jugabilidad y un sonido pletórico.
El apartado musical, aunque no está acreditado, se le atribuye al dúo japonés compuesto por Masanori Takeuchi y Tomoyuki Kawamura. Aquí os dejamos con esta maravilla folclórica titulada The Merry Dwarves.

Golden Axe (TurboGrafx CD, SEGA, 1990)
La aparición de Golden Axe en la PC Engine de NEC (fuera de Japón conocida como TurboGrafx) utilizó la potencia y la capacidad que ofrecía el CD-ROM para presentar un título muy digno. Como era de esperar, la Banda Sonora, atribuida a Yūonjin, Shinobu Ogawa e Hiroto Ōtsubo, es realmente impresionante. Tanto es así, que la hemos dedicado 2 Tonos muy especiales.

Golden Axe (Amstrad CPC, Probe Software, 1990)
Virgin Mastertronic Games publicó un port de Golden Axe para Amstrad CPC programado por un equipo del estudio británico Probe Software en 1990.

Golden Axe (C64, Probe Software, 1990)
Tampoco os podíamos privar de la versión para Commodore 64. Un trabajo excelente de otro de los grandes del Chiptune: Jeroen Tel, un músico holandés también conocido como WAVE, fundador de la banda Maniacs of Noise y que ha programado multitud de melodías para videojuegos históricos como Savage, Cybernoid, Turbo Out Run, Stormlord, Overlord, Dynamix, Smash TV, RoboCop 2 y 3, Alien 3 o Rhino Rumble.

Golden Axe (WonderSwan Color, Bandai, 2002)
Para concluir nuestro homenaje a Golden Axe os presentamos un "chiptono" de una videoconsola portátil casi olvidada, la WonderSwan Color de Bandai.

Shueisha ha lanciato la novel in versione cartacea nel 2015, corredata delle illustrazioni realizzate da Utako Yukihiro (Devils and Realist, Uta no Prince-sama, B-PROJECT). Fino al 6° volume, l’opera è una raccolta di storie brevi, mentre dal 7° la storia avanza sotto forma di romanzo vero e proprio; lo scorso 21 agosto ne è stato pubblicato il 9° tomo.
