SNK has given us a lot to talk about in 2019 with the popularity of SAMURAI SPIRITS and Terry Bogart's entry in Nintendo Switch's Smash Bros.
We at Saiga NAK, where there are many NEOGEO fans, have also covered a lot of news.
SNK will hold an event to celebrate the birth of "Mai Shiranui", SNK's representative female character, at the end of 2019!
Who is Mai Shiranui?
"Mai Shiranui" is a character who first appeared in the arcade fighting game "FATAL FURY 2" in 1992.
A kunoichi who inherited the Shiranui style of ninjutsu, Shiranui Mai is highly maneuverable and can manipulate a fan and flames.
The most distinctive feature of the character is his revealing costume, which is the reason why he and Terry Bogart, along with many other SNK characters, were not able to appear in Smash Bros. SP due to their CERO A status.
However, the character is very popular and has appeared in many other SNK titles besides the FATAL FURY series, including the KING OF FIGHTERS series, as well as a guest appearance in Koei Tecmo Games' "DEAD OR ALIVE" series.
According to his official profile, his birthday is January 1.
The birthday celebration is for all ages!
To celebrate Mai Shiranui's birthday on January 1, a birthday celebration event will be held in Akihabara from Thursday, December 26, 2019 to Monday, January 6, 2020.!
The name of the event is "For All Ages!" The name of the event is "Mai Shiranui Exhibition" for All Ages!
