Kojima says it's canon but considers it a side story and not necessary to understand any other game, and he's right. Having watched the cutscenes online, it really doesn't add anything. Most things were already foreshadowed/stated in Snake Eater, or confirmed and reiterated in MGS4. In my opinion, the story itself was pretty bad. It felt like poor fan fiction. The cutscenes are done in a motion comic style like in Peace Walker, but they have much less detail and are far more static.

I'm not sure: EVA's debriefing as well as who founded the Patriots were conflicted with MGS4. Besides, MGS2 pretty much reiterated what happened with MGS1, should we dismiss that as being a side story as well? No, but I'm not the one who labelled it a side story. That was Kojima. The user asked if it was worth playing the game and I expressed my opinion.
