Original Story
SEGA are teasing what appears to be a new DLC character for Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed in the form of Ryo Hazuki. The above image has appeared on their Facebook page showing Ryo Hazuki’s vehicle in boat-form which includes a lovely little nod to SEGA’s Hang-On arcade cabinet.
No announcement has been made regarding whether this will be a PC exclusive character as so far the PC version of Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed has been the only version of the game to be graced with new characters after launch day. Fingers crossed Ryo makes it to consoles.

“Fans will be able to ‘Link’ their Wii U systems to the Nintendo E-Shop early next year to download this DLC as well.”
Many fans are taking this hint as a confirmation of Zelda-themed DLC for Sonic Lost World in the new year. All this SEGA/Nintendo collaborative DLC is making my head hurt!
