Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed Includes a Christmas Present

It’s always cool when a game does something neat or unlocks something on a holiday, like with Christmas NiGHTS or Animal Crossing. Now it turns out Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed has a secret unlockable that unlocks on Christmas day. This secret can be unlocked early by changing the date of your console to December 25th, 2012. This can be done on Xbox 360 and PS3, it’s not certain if this can be done on the Wii U version as well. You do need to sign out of Xbox Live before you do this though and when you sign back in, it’ll be as if you weren’t able to time travel one month into the future after all. We don’t know if the same goes for the PS3 version.

If you want to spoil the surprise, go ahead and change the date on your console or alternatively, just click the jump of this post.

Because we love to spoil you here at Retro. Merry Christmas, everyone! Hit the jump for the other parts.

On The Seventh Day Of Christmas, Retro Gave To Me…

…a trailer to a live-action fan film.

Ok, so it doesn’t roll of the tongue very well. In the same token, I’ve been informed that the twelve days is supposed to start on Christmas Day, not the other way ’round. But I’ve already started, so there’s no use turning back!

And if I had started then…well, you wouldn’t be able to have watched this:
