Line 229:
** As for the [[Video Game|games]], those may even take place in two separate [[canon]]s as the console titles and handheld titles do not seem to be happening in the same timeline and often contradict each other. That's not even counting [[Video Game|games]] that may not even be considered official [[Canon]].
* [[SNK]]/Playmore has released a bunch of [[No Export for You|Japan only]] cellphone games- many of them [[Dating Sim]]s or [[Raising Sim]]s that feature alternate versions of characters from its vast [[Fighting Game]] library. The Alternate Continuity is especially accented for example, in the games that take place in modern times but have characters from ''[[Samurai Shodown|Samurai Spirits]]'' show up- quite often as the male protagonist's potential romantic interest. Or in the case of [[Ninja Maid|Iroha]] for one [[Raising Sim]], as a plain old human version that you strive to make the damned best maid in the world.
* There are at least four different continuities in the ''[[Rayman]]'' games. The first game takes place in a surreal, cartoony world where everyone has [[Raymanian Limbs]]. Then there is the ''[[Rayman 2 (Video Game)]]'' universe that serves as the setting for all subsequent games (''Rayman M'', ''Rayman 3'' '''and''' including ''[[Raving Rabbids]]''; this is important later in this paragraph), a slightly more realistic fantasy realm. There are no ties to the universe or storyline from the first game and Rayman is now the only limbless character.<ref>A [[Cameo]] by the General from ''[[Tonic Trouble]]'' suggests that ''Tonic Trouble'' takes place in this universe too. ''Tonic Trouble'' takes place on a surreal version of Earth where everyone has [[Raymanian Limbs]], which flatly contradicts the slightly more realistic version of Earth we see in the ''Rabbids'' games, so let's keep things from getting too complicated and keep that out of the discussion, shall we?</ref> Then there is the [[Animated Adaptation|TV series]] which has yet another different cast and universe. The presence of [[Space Pirates|Admiral]] [[Captain Color Beard|Razorbeard]], the antagonist of ''Rayman2'', suggests that it might have tied into the main universe [[Too Good to Last|had it been allowed to run for more than four episodes]]. And then there is the fact that ''Rabbids'' was spun off into its own universe with ''[[Rabbids Go Home]]'', set on a contemporary Earth.
* ''[[Alone in The Dark]]: The New Nightmare'' is in a different continuity than the original series, but the 2008 [[Video Game|game]] is a direct [[Sequel]], with Carnby having been kept in stasis by Lucifer since 1938.
* ''[[Nie R]]'' is an Alternate Continuity [[Sequel]] of ''[[Drakengard]]''. While ''Drakengard 2'' happened in the A Ending, where the world is mostly saved, ''Nier'''s world happens after the [[Mind Screw]] E Ending, where Caim and Angelus end up in Tokyo. In fact, according to [[All There in the Manual|backstory]], Caim and Angelus are actually responsible for devastating the world ([[Villain Protagonist|Just like he would've wanted]]).
