Talk:Metal Gear Solid Mobile

Canonicity
Mobile has never been declared as canon(in fact, Konami suggested otherwise). Everyone just assumed it was canon when it's story was said to take place between MGS1 and MGS2. However, that doesn't necessarily mean it adds to the main storyline. What seems to be the case is that it uses the main storyline as it's backstory. This is similar to how the Ac!d series uses MG1 and MG2 as it's backstory even though Ac!d is not canon. Snake's Revenge uses MG1's story as it's backstory as does Ghost Babel. So what suggests Mobile is not canon? http://wireless.ign.com/articles/861/861221p1.html IGN: Will Metal Gear Solid Mobile tie in directly to any of the other games, or is it a stand alone experience? Chad: It's a stand alone experience. I think that this was a key thing to Konami and Kojima, to make this a stand alone experience, but still tie in with the Metal Gear series. If it were canon, it would tie directly to MG1/MG2/MGS1/MGS2/MGS3/MPO/MGS4. Instead, it was called "stand alone" twice. It's tie in with the Metal Gear series seems to either refer to the fact that it has Metal Gear elements or it could mean that the game uses the main series as it's backstory. But if it meant that it was directly tied in with the series, then they can't say it is stand alone. Also, Mobile wasn't included at the end of Saga Vol. 2 even though all the other canon titles were included. While Saga Vol. 2 was in development, so was Mobile. There was already footage of it. So there is no question that Mobile could have been added to the end of Saga Vol. 2.
