Ahead of the release of Sonic X Shadow Generations on the Switch this October, Sega has announced the game will be getting a 'Sonic Jam' legacy skin, inspired by the blue blur's first 3D appearance. The catch is, you'll need to sign up for Sega's emails to receive it.
Even if you've signed up to Sega's emails before, you'll apparently still need to do it for this skin. After the game is released on 25th October 2024, Sega will then email all users a code with instructions on how to download this special in-game content. When you fill out the form, apart from all your details, you'll need to pick the platform you want this code for.

Sonic Jam originally made its debut on the Sega Saturn in 1997 and is a compilation of Sonic, Sonic 2, Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles featuring a 3D overworld called 'Sonic World' filled with all sorts of additional content and mini-games. Sonic X Shadow Generations will also include a special Sonic Adventure legacy skin with pre-orders of the game.
In some other Sonic news, Sega is also currently offering a free 'Retro Diner Style Amy Costume' for Sonic Superstars This costume item is available for free from all digital platforms, so get this download now if you don't already own it.
Are you looking forward to Sonic X Shadow Generations? Will you be redeeming this free skin? Let us know in the comments.

Dang, finally a skin I think is cool! The subscribe button isn't working right now unfortunately. Ill try again tomorrow.
I might be in the minority but I like this skin! Reminds me of Sega Saturn era.
I wonder if the lower poly count will help boost the inevitable dookie performance for no reason on Switch.
Yesss please!
nice! i dont usually care about these skins, but i love gens so ill be pretty head over heels with anything new added
@coolioam please please PLEASE dont jinx it im both so excited and afraid to see switch footage
Still waiting on my classic Amy code lol.
But the IHOP one coming out is a nice surprise!
The actual "Sonic had a rough transition to 3D" costume. Because the Saturn era was HELL for the blue blur.
Don't really expect this to be used on boost sonic though, since we're already getting the Dreamcast costume.
@Samalik Yep, tried to play 3D Blast again and it’s just sh*t on so many levels. The Saturn might have struggled a bit when it came to certain 3D games but it got Tomb Raider, I’m sure it could have handled a middle ground between whatever the hell they were going for with 3D Blast and Adventure.
I'm assuming the skin is for classic Sonic due to the body type. If so, that's cool as now both Sonics get a legacy skin
Nice, immediately subscribing for this just like I did for similar Sega promotions in the past!
@nessisonett There was suppose to be Sonic X-treme but..... yeah....
I was literally playing through Sonic Jam in July 2017 when I chanced upon my Switch. It was the first one I had ever seen in the wild and I pounced.
The irony that my issue with the Wii U, as well as the first year of the switch, was the same as the issue with the Sega Saturn - not enough solid 3D experiences.
@obijuankanoobie I thought it wasn't working either, but then I tried selecting the platform I'll be playing on (Switch) and it let me submit!
@slowpoke_tail oh! I totally missed that! It worked this time, thank you!

@russell-marlow Well yeah, but: free low-poly Sonic!
Or as I like to think of it: the Saturn 3D Blast special stage Sonic
How many times do I have to subscribe to their newsletter? Don't the Frontiers and Superstars subscriptions count? I'm starting to get sick of this distribution method.
Lol this is the only reason I want this.
I still never got the code for my Amy skin, not even bothering with this one.
@russell-marlow Yeah, if only you could unsubscribe any time you choose. What jerks!
@OFFICIALMichi Did ya check your spam?
Looks better than the default
Ah Sonic Jam. It was actually possible to Glitch out of the mini 3D world in the Saturn game where you would have an infinite VDP2 plain streched out in front of you to run towards. I still have the PAL and Japanese versions.
Am interested to see how Generations runs on Switch, be a bit disappointing if 30fps as that was what my PS3 managed. Almost certain this will be too though, as Colours was.
