UPDATE: This pre-order bonus only seems to apply to the US Amazon shop for now. We will update again if this changes.
Step right up, my long-faced friend. Why, I know exactly what you're thinking: "My hedgehog! It spins, speeds, dives, dashes, slices, races, and saves the world but oh, woe is me why doesn't my hedgehog GLOW?"
Chin up, chum; I've got just the solution to put the lustre in your erinaceid! All you gotta do is pre-arrange your order of the all new Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric on Amazon and an amazing luminous costume pack will be yours!
No longer will you have to suffer the slings and embarrassments of having an animal that is merely blue and talks. With added luminosity, you can light up the night! You can be the centerpiece at raving soirees that you've always wanted to be! And you will never, ever, lose your hedgehog behind the couch again! Stop having a boring hedgehog! Stop having a boring life!
And that's not all! Pre-order before the November release date and we will double your order, lighting up TWO hedgehogs for the price of one! We will also include luminescence for your fox and echidna, and don't forget that every copy of Sonic Boom already comes with a feral badger child as our gift to you!
(Please take her. She chews on everything.)
Are you taking a shine to this brighter option in the Wii U version of Sonic Boom? Let us know.

What is this, TRON!?!?
Yay preorder this game and get a added Emissive texture node -_-
I have to say it looks really cool, but Sonic games are rentals for us. Or $10 used on Gamefly.
FYI - US Amazon has this, UK Amazon does not. (at least as far as I can tell)

One way to get glowing comments about this game.
Oh, and in an almost related story - Amazon is buying Twitch. I know NL likes it's Twitch stories, I'm surprised it hasn't been reported here yet. Everybody must be sleeping

Lame
Man, they're really banking on this Sonic game to be good. It'd be a shame if it sucked.
WOW!
@VoodooTrumpet well to be fair, it's not the weirdest thing Amazon has done concerning Sonic Pre orders. At least it's not as lame as this!
EDIT: The 25 extra lives in case you don't want to click the link to the article.
Its honestly a pretty cool bonus.
haha That is cool!
Sonic fans ENJOY!
Why not Nintendo themed costumes? Everything else on Wii U did it.
hmmm... i think i'll just leave this here...
I am pretty sure I won't like this. (Did like both Lost World games (Preferred Wii U)) but it reminds me of what I dislike about Playstation games. (3DS one looks better).
Woah this totally going to make people buy it.Just to have a simple a luminous costume pack!
If only there was a skin pack to make Knuckles look normal. =)
Glow in the dark sports tape...
Why the heck not?
Awesome! That looks really cool! I hope there is some way for me to get that glow-in-the-dark skin, I was planning to download this game but if I have to preorder it physically then I'll go that way. I hope they at least make it available as paid DLC...
@Imagine23 Lmao!
TRONic Boom!
@Ichiban I was thinking that exact same thing, Tronic Boom indeed.
I have no desire for this, although it doesn't seem to be on offer in the UK anyway. Still it's a harmless bit of DLC I suppose.
This is US Amazon only, guys. You could at least mention that in the article.
Well, I live in the U.S. so I'm lucky I guess. I still wish we got a Hyrule Warriors Special Edition.
sighs
Stop saying like its a big thing.....please?
pre-order bonuses tend to suck, espcially for bigger games where every retailer has a different one.
@rjejr wow that's insane! They are also making their own video game development section! This is going to be interesting to watch.
@RainbowGazelle @rjejr Apologies. The press release we received said "everyone who pre-orders," so I naturally assumed, you know, everyone. An update has been posted.
Well, Lost World already showed how idiotic segas pre-order boni could get. This is only slightly better.
The best pre-order DLC by far is still no pre-order DLC at all.
Meh Gamestop goes with that Sonic figure so I rather pre order from them
@ekreig I agree, lol. I can't believe that no one else got your joke.
This is the first 3D Sonic game I'll be buying since Unleashed, so... sure.
I'll get neon clothes DLC unless another store is offering something better.
Hopefully we will get the sonic figure in the uk
@DarkKirby you should buy Colors and Generations it's excellent
I just realized this is coming the 2nd anniversary of the Wii U 😄
It's times like this I realize how simpleminded I am. Getting excited for a pre-order because it have pretty glowing animals.
The sales pitch for this is filled with Yes and hilarity.
If anyone that got a code for this and didnt liked the costume, or for any reason hasnt redeemed his code, could trade it for other club nintendo codes, just give it away, or let me kow of another way to get this DLC Id really appreciate it.
