La+ Darknesss Reveals Mai Shiranui Collab Goods on Sponsored Fatal Fury Stream
She also said she will appear in the promotional video for the Switch 2 version of the game, and showed a still of it.
HOLOLIVE — La+ Darknesss of Hololive’s holoX unit announced on Tuesday that a collaboration goods line with the fighting-game character Mai Shiranui is in production, revealing the news during a sponsored stream of Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves for developer SNK.
The announcement came after she read a letter from SNK and opened a gift the company had sent. It turned out to be an illustration of Mai and La+ Darknesss together. She said the goods will be made from two illustrations; the second was not shown and will be announced later. She said she was so excited that she skipped past part of the message and promised to return to it. She did not say what form the goods will take.
“The collab goods especially make me happy.” — La+ Darknesss, near the end of the stream
La+ Darknesss also said she will appear in the promotional video for the Nintendo Switch 2 version of the game, and she was allowed to show a still from it early. It showed the series hero Terry in space holding a Switch 2. She said the video will be posted on the game’s official X account. The Switch 2 digital edition goes on sale on Oct. 22, and a packaged version follows on Jan. 21. She noted that Mai’s new classic costume, the occasion for the stream, comes as a bonus with early purchase.
Much of the stream was a tour of her Mai collection, which she described as the reason the stream ran long. She showed a large figure on a stand, acrylic stands from a prize draw, art books and a bookmark from SNK. She said she had accidentally bought one figure twice and displayed both. When she finally reached the game at about the 42-minute mark, she chose a stage themed on Fist of the North Star, tried the costume and said she was mostly watching Mai rather than fighting. Her avatar froze briefly while she restarted her software.
Chat answered the reveals with excitement, and several viewers asked whether a figure would follow. La+ Darknesss closed by saying the stream had turned into a promotion for Mai.
