\"Mai\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

Remember last month when Super Smash Bros. Ultimate<\/a><\/strong> director Masahiro Sakurai said the all-star fighting game was for “good boys and girls of many different ages” when he explained<\/a> why Mai Shiranui from SNK’s Fatal Fury<\/a><\/strong> and King of Fighters<\/a><\/strong> series wasn’t featured.<\/p>\n

While she might not have made the cut in Nintendo’s brawler on Switch alongside Terry Bogard, over in Japan she’ll soon be receiving her very own “all ages<\/a>” event and pop-up shop (from 26th December 2019 until 9th January 2019) to celebrate her birthday.<\/p>\n

Mai was born on 1st January 1974, which means she’s technically in her mid-’40s now. Despite this, her age in-game tends to be around 19-25 years old.<\/p>\n

The special limited-time shop will be located at The Akihabara Container in Tokyo and includes a range of different products featuring Mai on them. There’ll be cheaper items like SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy<\/a><\/strong> pins, Mai posters, towels, t-shirts, and more expensive items like special artwork. Individuals who spend over 6,000 yen will get Shiranui rice with Mai’s face on it, and a 10,000 yen purchase on Mai’s birthday scores you a Mai tote bag.<\/p>\n

Below is a look at some of the items up for grabs (you can view the rest on 4Gamer.net<\/a>):<\/p>\n
