Gaiden Game	comment	A work, usually a video game, which takes place in or refers to another work, but isn't really a sequel or prequel. It can be a simple side story, a Perspective Flip, or a chance to give a popular character background they didn't get in the original work. The major stipulation is it is not usually required to canonically fit into the main game or require having played it to enjoy. Video game cases also frequently (but not necessarily) dip into Genre Shift by being centered around another type of core-gameplay than what is usual for their series. Gaiden Games are sometimes titled from the direct translation of the Japanese word gaiden, meaning "another story." Frequently, these games are released on portables or less-powerful systems, but modified appropriately. They are often lower budget and can be seen as cash-ins, but can be interesting if they choose a different viewpoint, poke fun at the original, or are simply more innovative than a large-budget game might be allowed to be. Subtrope of Spin-Off. Sister trope to Pinball Spin-Off. Also of note is that having Gaiden in its title doesn't necessarily mean the game pertains to this trope. Even if you exclude Ninja Gaiden, which has a troubled approach with its gaiden status. See the respective entry below.

Gaiden Game / int_10d303b2	comment	Shin Megami Tensei if... started off originally as a gaiden game of sorts in the SMT universe, taking place just before Shin Megami Tensei I. It later became canon when the protagonist appeared in Persona and Persona 2, and started the Intercontinuity Crossover that occurs throughout the MegaTen franchise. Part of this crossover is with the Devil Summoner games, which goes into detail sometimes as to why the events of Shin Megami Tensei I didn't happen, and the protagonist of if... later works for the famed Kuzunoha detective agency from Devil Summoner by the time of Persona 2, whose protagonist also is implied to be possessing someone.

Gaiden Game / int_187d5708	comment	Devil May Cry 2 is a two-disc set. The second disk, which you may think will extend the story, doesn't. It fits this trope by giving you a gaiden game in form of Lucia, letting you play as her for the parts of the story where she wasn't interacting with Dante. It makes little enough sense what she's doing that it could easily be considered a wholly different game played in the DMC format.

Gaiden Game / int_18fd74a7	comment	Super Mario Land and Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins share the same basic platforming elements as other 2D platformers in the Super Mario Bros. series, but take some liberties with the story, settings and items. Instead of rescuing Peach from Bowser like usual, Mario takes a trip to a neighbour country of the Mushroom Kingdom to save a different princess from an evil alien in the first game. In the sequel, Mario has to take back his private island from his evil counterpart, Wario. The third game distances itself completely from Mario and gives birth to the Wario Land series instead. Notably, none of the games were designed by Shigeru Miyamoto, but were well-received nonetheless.

The two are set in a Shared Universe (Lost Judgment notably spoils the big status quo shift in Yakuza: Like a Dragon for those that didn't play that first) with the same setting and heavily related gameplay, but Judgment largely avoids having its story or characters intersect with that of Like A Dragon, instead doing its own self-contained thing. Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio doesn't consider Judgment to be part of the Like A Dragon series, deliberately avoiding making announcements of Judgment games alongside Like A Dragon ones.

Gaiden Game / int_2664f44a	comment	Yakuza: Judgment and its sequel Lost Judgment are spinoffs of the Yakuza franchise focused on a new protagonist, private detective Takayuki Yagami. While taking place in Yakuza locales like Kamurocho and Ijincho, and with major events such as the dissolution of the Tojo Clan in Yakuza: Like a Dragon referenced in the background, Yagami's plots tend to run parallel to the Yakuza series and no major characters from Yakuza show up beyond the odd unnamed shout out and Tianyou Zhao's brief cameo in Lost Judgment. Like a Dragon: Ishin! is a gaiden game that portrays the life and times of real-world historical figure Sakamoto Ryōma as portrayed by Kiryu and other Yakuza characters. Yakuza: Dead Souls is a gaiden game taking place after Yakuza 4 that pits Kiryu and company against the walking dead.

Amusingly enough, it turned out that the actual Shin Megami Tensei IV isn't all that connected to the other main series games either. note Word of God actually stated that the prerequisite for an SMT game to be considered part of the main series is for it to "occur in Tokyo." Strange Journey, despite being a strong contender for the fourth title, instead got branded as a Gaiden Game exactly because it doesn't happen anywhere remotely close to Japan. Which wasn't the case for SMTIV. IV Apocalypse also had a crossover DLC where the heroes of I, II, III and IV team up, confirming some degree of continuity which Strange Journey lacks other than some easter eggs.

Gaiden Game / int_2cb2e5ed	comment	Breath of Fire IV has had a minor constellation of Gaiden Game treatments—at least two of them being released (along with a Comic-Book Adaptation of IV) fully seven years after the original release. These last two, Breath of Fire IV - The Sword of Flame & the Magic of Wind and Breath of Fire IV: Faeries Light Key, are two separate side-stories of IV. There's also a spinoff of the fishing minigame from IV as well as a "Great Dalmuti"/"Millionaire" game featuring characters from IV. Unfortunately, due to the platform these were released on (Qualcomm's BREW OS, which is only common in Japan) these are likely to remain No Export for You permanently—much to the vexation of the English-speaking IV fandom.

Guilty Gear Judgement is the only Guilty Gear Spin-Off from its more experimental phase with an actual plot, and it's completely disconnected from the overall Myth Arc, as well as anything that happens in the XX games.

The game takes place between the events of Super Metroid and Metroid Fusion and explores elements of Samus's past; mostly her time as a soldier working directly under the Federation before leaving to do solo contract work. While the game does the needed work to fit into the timeline as a "Metroid 3.5", just like Hunters, it has zero effect on the overarching story, which was exemplified by series producer Yoshio Sakamoto introducing Metroid Dread as the end to a five-game Myth Arc, not a six-game one.

The reason why it has that 3 in its title is because it was originally planned to be merely an add-on that still required Halo 3 to play. But as the game grew and grew and more and more tweaks to the game engine were madenote the VISR system, the whole NAV/map/waypoint system, Firefight game mode, making groups of opponents patrol and thus successfully navigate large areas, and so on, Bungie decided to make it a stand-alone product for half the price of a normal retail game. Then Microsoft "interfered" and added a second disk containing the multiplayer portion from Halo 3 along with all the DLC map packs, and upped the price to that of a normal retail game.

Gaiden Game / int_474c18c1	comment	BioShock Infinite outdoes its predecessor even more in this regard. Setting-wise, it takes place in an Alternate Universe, and instead of the underwater city of Rapture circa the 1960s, it's in the flying city of Columbia in 1912. Instead of being a horror-leaning Immersive Sim, it's a bright and action-packed swashbuckling shooter. It does retain a political and philosophical bend, but instead of deconstructing Individualism vs. Collectivism, it tackles themes of fundamentalism, mutual extremism, as well as more personal themes like redemption and forgiveness, driven by how Infinite is also vastly more character-focused, with the playable Booker DeWitt being a major entity and player in his own narrative instead of just a blank slate. It also mixes the series' broader examination on the limits of free will with the paradigm of constants and variables, which ends up being a big reason for why this is still ultimately a BioShock game.

It is officially considered to be semi-canon in the series lore: while the events of the game contradicted 3 and were thus considered non-canon, the concept of splinter factions of the Brotherhood of Steel would be incorporated into later games, and references would be made to the Chicago-based faction of the Brotherhood.

However, of the twelve, StB & DS are the only ones without an actual plot — whereas the events and new characters introduced in the other games are acknowledged in some way; IaMP for example was recognized in the canon books Perfect Memento in Strict Sense, Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red, and Silent Sinner in Blue (SWR was made after those books came out), & 100BM was a direct continuation of Touhou Kouryuudou ~ Unconnected Marketeers.

Other than a few characters who appear in multiple games, the storylines are completely unrelated and don't affect one another. Grand Theft Auto IV totally remakes the universe with a brand new Liberty City, though Vice City and San Andreas are confirmed to exist. Grand Theft Auto V in turn is a Gaiden Game for IV, not being officially confirmed to be a separate continuity from IV like it was from III. There's also Grand Theft Auto Advance for GBA, takes place a year before the events of GTA3 and features some of the characters. The main reason for Vice City becoming a Gaiden Game (and thus initiating a sequence of Gaiden Games) is most likely because it was initially planned to be an expansion pack for GTAIII instead of a standalone game, with early announcements in game magazines calling it "Grand Theft Auto III: Vice City".

New Vegas's developer (Obsidian) had many key members in common with Black Isle, takes place closer to familiar ground, and incorporates many elements from the cancelled Van Buren project that was originally going to be Fallout 3. Additionally, most of the add-ons for 3 and New Vegas have a separate map from the main game, as well as a self-contained story.

Ultima Underworld was also a gaiden game, being a side story set in the main Ultima world, because with the second installment directly bridging Ultima VII and Ultima VII Part II (in fact, the PC starts the latter with a quest item obtained in UU2 with no in-game explanation of where it came from). There are also the two console games from the mid-90s, Ultima: Runes of Virtue and Ultima: ROV 2. Both games are set in the usual Ultima game world, and feature characters and towns familiar from the parent series.

Gaiden Game / int_68c8e9ad	comment	Super Robot Wars: There are three Gaiden games with each of them a part of the three major continuties ("Classic", Alpha, and Original Generation). The first Gaiden game Super Robot Wars Gaiden: Lord of Elementals told of the origins of the Masou Kishin characters, a group of Banpresto-created originals not seen anywhere else. Super Robot Wars Alpha Gaiden focused on Time Travel and wasn't necessary for players to enjoy the previous Alpha game (most likely because Banpresto wanted an excuse to show off obscure mecha series, since it was full of them). Super Robot Wars Original Generation Gaiden fits this trope because it was shorter than the average SRW, including several extras such as a battle viewer and a card game. It's also downplayed, though, since all three are essentially sequels that happen to have the word "gaiden" in their name. Super Robot Wars Alpha depends on the player having some foreknowledge of the events set in Super Robot Wars EX or Super Robot Wars Gaiden for background on the Masou Kishin characters, otherwise one can get too confused at the references they make to Alpha's back story. Alpha Gaiden is heavily referenced in the proper sequel Alpha 2, where the Dinosaur Empire is defeated for the third time, and the finale Alpha 3 assumes the player knows of Sanger Zonvolt's role at the Earth Cradle, despite the fact it was supposed to be highly secretive. Hell, the fact the Titans are more or less liberally screwed and Char Anzable's disillusionment with humanity DEPENDS on the events of Alpha Gaiden. In short, Banpresto's definition of "gaiden" means a game that provides story details bridging the gap and answering the Epileptic Trees present in the other games in continuity. In fact, there's very little an "Original Generation 3" couldn't reference the events of Original Generation Gaiden, considering both the effects on existing characters and all the Early Bird Cameoes present in that game. Super Robot Wars OG Saga: Endless Frontier. While a spin-off, the back-story establishes the events in Original Generation continuity ultimately influenced the entirety of Endless Frontier. Its sequel Endless Frontier EXCEED even manages to rope in characters from the main Original Generation games. Amusingly, a remake of the original Super Robot Wars Gaiden was later announced, only it now carries the "OG Saga" subtitle instead. Thus, the name "Gaiden" then became reserved for half-sequels while "OG Saga" is given to the actual Gaiden Games.

Gaiden Game / int_74f7210c	comment	In the The Legend of Zelda series, most major installments involve a new Link as protagonist, but there will often be a Gaiden Game to continue a specific Link's story, usually without any appearances by Princess Zelda, Big Bad Ganon, or the Kingdom of Hyrule: The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening involves the Link from A Link to the Past waking up on a mysterious island during his travels. Later, a Capcom/Nintendo collaboration made the Oracle series as a midquel set between the two. The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask has the Link from Ocarina of Time, going to Termina after saving Hyrule. The game's working title was Zelda Gaiden. It was supposed to be an add-on of sorts using the 64DD peripheral. The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass is a side-game/sequel to The Wind Waker, detailing one of Link's and Tetra's adventures during their quest to find a new land to settle. The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords, Four Swords Adventures and The Minish Cap were supposed to be a Gaiden Trilogy, with their main villain being Vaati instead of Ganon, and then Four Swords Adventures shoehorned Ganon into the plot and connected it to the main series (also, the game was eventually placed much later in the chronology by Hyrule Historia). In The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes, the Link from A Link Between Worlds teams up with two Identical Strangers to save a new princess in a new land. The game is rather Denser and Wackier than most Zelda titles. Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland is either this or a spinoff, as the game stars recurring side character Tingle, with both Link and Zelda completely absent from the plot.

Gaiden Game / int_77011132	comment	Played straight with Kingdom Hearts coded to a degree. The main purpose of the game is to reveal the content of the letter written by Mickey to Sora at the end of Kingdom Hearts II and how Mickey found out about the fate of Aqua, Terra and Ventus, something the player already knows if they played Birth by Sleep previously. Most of the actual plot (Mickey creating a data Sora to restore Jimminy's journal by defeating bugs) has little bearing on the Myth Arc and is never alluded in the next game, Dream Drop Distance. It does contain a few relevant points that are obviously setting up for future games, though, including the first mention of the Book of Prophecy; Maleficent and Pete gaining knowledge of such a thing; and Mickey seeing all the people Sora has to help which includes Xion, a character he previously would have had no reason to be aware of at all, and that fans may have expected not to see again.

Gaiden Game / int_7785278d	comment	BioShock: Though chronologically a sequel, BioShock 2 qualifies as the game is from the perspective of a Big Daddy, specifically a prototype named Delta. The gameplay is similar, but the mechanics and weaponry are modified slightly to give the feel of controlling one, and you also have a relationship with Little Sisters similar to that of the Big Daddies themselves. The storyline also give some additional insight into the concept and technology of the Big Daddies as well. BioShock Infinite outdoes its predecessor even more in this regard. Setting-wise, it takes place in an Alternate Universe, and instead of the underwater city of Rapture circa the 1960s, it's in the flying city of Columbia in 1912. Instead of being a horror-leaning Immersive Sim, it's a bright and action-packed swashbuckling shooter. It does retain a political and philosophical bend, but instead of deconstructing Individualism vs. Collectivism, it tackles themes of fundamentalism, mutual extremism, as well as more personal themes like redemption and forgiveness, driven by how Infinite is also vastly more character-focused, with the playable Booker DeWitt being a major entity and player in his own narrative instead of just a blank slate. It also mixes the series' broader examination on the limits of free will with the paradigm of constants and variables, which ends up being a big reason for why this is still ultimately a BioShock game.

There are some references to the main characters of the original story. Mass Effect: Galaxy (for the iPod Touch/iPhone) focuses on Jacob Taylor and Miranda Lawson between the events of the first and second game. Completing Galaxy unlocks more dialogue in Mass Effect 2. The iOS game Mass Effect: Infiltrator runs concurrently with the events of Mass Effect 3, and follows an ex-Cerberus operative who works to free a number of captive civilians from Cerberus' laboratories. The game has similar mechanics to the main game, and completing it allows the player to export a War Asset and a weapon over to 3. Mass Effect: Datapad is another iOS game integrated with the third installment, and includes a galactic Codex, the ability to receive personal messages from squadmates and various characters in the universe, and a strategy minigame that allows you to increase your Galactic Readiness in the main game.

Gaiden Game / int_7f5bc680	comment	Fallout: Fallout: New Vegas is an odd case of a Gaiden Game that is more of a sequel to its predecessor (Fallout 2) than the actual sequel is: 3 was made by a different developer (Bethesda) than Black Isle, the developers of the first two, and moved the setting to the opposite end of the country. New Vegas's developer (Obsidian) had many key members in common with Black Isle, takes place closer to familiar ground, and incorporates many elements from the cancelled Van Buren project that was originally going to be Fallout 3. Additionally, most of the add-ons for 3 and New Vegas have a separate map from the main game, as well as a self-contained story. Fallout Shelter is a base building side game made to hold the fanbase over until Fallout 4. Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel is a side-game that takes place in a different part of the post-apocalyptic United States and, as the title implies, focuses more on turn-based tactical battles than exploring a sandbox environment. It is officially considered to be semi-canon in the series lore: while the events of the game contradicted 3 and were thus considered non-canon, the concept of splinter factions of the Brotherhood of Steel would be incorporated into later games, and references would be made to the Chicago-based faction of the Brotherhood.

Largely existing as an exercise in producing a sequel and light-hearted enough to occasionally take the piss out of its premise and characters, it was mainly dismissed in the West for being much sillier than its predecessor, and for deviating too much from the Final Fantasy formula. Then there's Last Mission, a roguelike which is included as an extra with the International and HD Remaster versions, and can more properly be considered this, though it also is considered a "Where Are They Now?"

Fire Emblem: Thracia 776, meanwhile, is one to Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War. The two titles are generally considered full instalments in the Fire Emblem series, being the second and fifth respectively, though there are some portions of the Japanese fanbase who don't consider Gaiden to be a full Fire Emblem game. Also present are the Satellaview instalments in the series, which are briefer games focusing on small groups of the cast of the first/third game doing things in the intervening time period between Dolhr's victory and the start of the first/third games; they were later remade and included as a bonus in New Mystery of the Emblem.

Super Robot Wars Alpha Gaiden focused on Time Travel and wasn't necessary for players to enjoy the previous Alpha game (most likely because Banpresto wanted an excuse to show off obscure mecha series, since it was full of them). Super Robot Wars Original Generation Gaiden fits this trope because it was shorter than the average SRW, including several extras such as a battle viewer and a card game. It's also downplayed, though, since all three are essentially sequels that happen to have the word "gaiden" in their name. Super Robot Wars Alpha depends on the player having some foreknowledge of the events set in Super Robot Wars EX or Super Robot Wars Gaiden for background on the Masou Kishin characters, otherwise one can get too confused at the references they make to Alpha's back story. Alpha Gaiden is heavily referenced in the proper sequel Alpha 2, where the Dinosaur Empire is defeated for the third time, and the finale Alpha 3 assumes the player knows of Sanger Zonvolt's role at the Earth Cradle, despite the fact it was supposed to be highly secretive. Hell, the fact the Titans are more or less liberally screwed and Char Anzable's disillusionment with humanity DEPENDS on the events of Alpha Gaiden. In short, Banpresto's definition of "gaiden" means a game that provides story details bridging the gap and answering the Epileptic Trees present in the other games in continuity. In fact, there's very little an "Original Generation 3" couldn't reference the events of Original Generation Gaiden, considering both the effects on existing characters and all the Early Bird Cameoes present in that game.

Gaiden Game / int_994af351	comment	Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: The bonus case, only present on the DS version (the original Japan-only GBA version ends at the fourth case), features a case where only five characters (Phoenix, Edgeworth, Gumshoe, the Judge and the Bellboy) from the rest of the series appear, the rest being completely new. This is due to the case taking place between the first and second games, and the writers couldn't mess with the continuity already set by the sequels which had already been released in Japan. The plot and characters feel perfectly like a sidestory. The fifth case has been fully worked into the canon with Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney featuring Ema as the game's Gumshoe. Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth, a Gaiden Game where you play as Miles Edgeworth, Nick's rival. It follows the same general formula except that Edgeworth is actually on the map as a sprite and walks around rather than looking at a static image. There are no court segments (unless the case taking place in a courthouse counts), but witnesses are still cross-examined in much the same manner as the main series. It later got its own sequel, becoming a Gaiden Series.

Hunters is completely detached from the Phazon storyline that's at the core of every other entry in the original Prime trilogy, including Federation Force. Instead, the story concerns Samus and a group of other bounty hunters all fighting each other over a rumored "ultimate power." Beyond being the debut of Sylux, who would eventually be set up as a new antagonist following the defeat of Dark Samus, the game has no effect whatsoever on the overarching plot.

Gaiden Game / int_9d34190a	comment	The Elder Scrolls: In addition to its main series of Wide-Open Sandbox Western RPG style games, the franchise includes several other games which take place in the same world and are generally treated as canon, but offer different experiences from the main series. To note: An Elder Scrolls Legend: Battlespire is an action-oriented Dungeon Crawler with downplayed RPG mechanics. Originally planned as an expansion to Daggerfall, it was released as a stand-alone game and takes place during the time frame of Arena. The Battlespire, a Wizarding School for Imperial Battlemages, comes under attack by the forces of Mehrunes Dagon, who seek to use it as a conduit for invading Tamriel. A single student (the PC), must fight through the Battlespire to defeat Dagon and free their partner. A good chunk of the information of the things known about the Daedra originates in this game. The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard is a spin-off Action-Adventure game with very few RPG elements. Some 400 years before Arena, a Redguard by the name of Cyrus travels home to find his sister missing and himself embroiled in a web of political intrigue. It was well received by critics and fans, but due to the cost of production and being built on outdated technology, it was a financial flop. The Pocket Guide to the Empire, which came with the game, gave one of the first comprehensive looks at the series' background lore, which would be greatly expanded on in future games. Another The Elder Scrolls Adventures game, The Eye of Argonia was planned but never made, though the Eye itself is mentioned in the main series. (Those who don't know this often erroneously assume that it's a reference to The Eye of Argon.) The Elder Scrolls Travels is a side-series of small, mobile phone games developed for Java-enabled devices, including the N-Gage. Travels consists of Dawnstar, Stormhold, and Shadowkey, with the canonicity of each unclear at best (though elements of Shadowkey have been mentioned in the main series). The Elder Scrolls Online is an MMORPG prequel of the main series, set roughly 500 years prior the events of Arena.

What really makes it gaiden, though, is the fact that, in the end, the entire point of the story is to resolve a hanging plot thread from its predecessor (see Urban Legend of Zelda). Radical Dreamers was a Japan-only text adventure Gaiden Game to Chrono Trigger released on the Super Famicom's Satellaview add-on. It was later overhauled, greatly expanded, turned into a proper RPG... and became Chrono Cross.

Gaiden Game / int_a6543322	comment	Touhou Project: There are quite a significant number of spinoffs in Touhou, as well, ranging from the fighting games (Touhou Suimusou ~ Immaterial and Missing Power, Touhou Hisouten ~ Scarlet Weather Rhapsody, Touhou Shinkirou ~ Hopeless Masquerade, Touhou Shinpiroku ~ Urban Legend in Limbo, Touhou Hyouibana ~ Antinomy of Common Flowers, ) to even more shooters (Touhou Bunkachou ~ Shoot the Bullet, Double Spoiler ~ Touhou Bunkachou, Yousei Daisensou ~ Touhou Sangetsusei, Danmaku Amanojaku ~ Impossible Spell Card, & Hifuu Nightmare Diary ~ Violet Detector, & Black Market of Bulletphilia ~ 100th Black Market), to a spinoff that doesn't fit in either category (Touhou Gouyoku Ibun ~ Sunken Fossil World), and one would imply that they're all gaiden games to the main series (Touhou 12.3, Touhou Hisoutensoku ~ Choudokyuu Ginyoru no Nazo o Oe, is an Expansion Pack to SWR), especially since none of them use the same gameplay system (IaMP, SWR, HM, ULiL, and AoCF are 2D Fighting Games, StB, DS, GFW, ISC, VD are Boss Rushes with unique spins on the basic formula, and SFW is a mix of both game types). However, of the twelve, StB & DS are the only ones without an actual plot — whereas the events and new characters introduced in the other games are acknowledged in some way; IaMP for example was recognized in the canon books Perfect Memento in Strict Sense, Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red, and Silent Sinner in Blue (SWR was made after those books came out), & 100BM was a direct continuation of Touhou Kouryuudou ~ Unconnected Marketeers. IaMP boss character Suika Ibuki appears in Touhou Chireiden ~ Subterranean Animism, and the game actually elaborates on some of the plot of IaMP (that is, where the oni all went). Iku Nagae and Tenshi Hinanawi from SWR are both in The Grimoire of Marisa. Touhou 12.8 Yousei Daisensou ~ Touhou Sangetsusei, is a direct continuation to a chapter of a Touhou manga, Strange and Bright Nature Deity. Two Ability Cards found in UM reference Tenshi (Keystone of Endurance) & the new inductee from ULiL, Sumireko Usami (Psychokinesis), and even more characters would be referenced later in 100BM (those being the Three Fairies, Suika, & the Yorigami sisters). Suika and SFW inductee Yuuma Toutetsu would even make history as the first ever sidegame characters to be playable in a mainline entry with Touhou Juuouen ~ Unfinished Dream of All Living Ghost. To this day, Touhou is undergoing Continuity Creep.

Gaiden Game / int_a81325d3	comment	Final Fantasy: The GBA remake of Final Fantasy II contained a short quest after beating the game, detailing what happened to all the dead party members after they died. Final Fantasy X-2 originally was informally referred to as a Gaiden Game before being treated as a direct sequel. Largely existing as an exercise in producing a sequel and light-hearted enough to occasionally take the piss out of its premise and characters, it was mainly dismissed in the West for being much sillier than its predecessor, and for deviating too much from the Final Fantasy formula. Then there's Last Mission, a roguelike which is included as an extra with the International and HD Remaster versions, and can more properly be considered this, though it also is considered a "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue. Even before X-2, the developers weren't sure if Final Fantasy IX would be considered part of the main franchise due to how much is deviated from Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy VIII; it was less than a year before release that Square officially called it IX. The spinoff games to the VII universe could be considered Gaiden Games, including the PS2 sequel Dirge of Cerberus, and two prequels, Before Crisis for mobile phones and Crisis Core on the PSP. Fans are divided how much material has been stapled on as a cash grab and how much was simply cut for time. Final Fantasy Type-0, part of Fabula Nova Crystallis: Final Fantasy is a gaiden game of Final Fantasy XIII, and was given the Working Title of Final Fantasy Agito XIII. While XIII-2 and Lightning Returns are direct continuations of XIII, Type-0 tells a different story that takes place in a completely separate setting while using elements of the lore of XIII. Another gaiden game titled Final Fantasy Versus XIII was originally planned before it was changed into a main series title, Final Fantasy XV. Even though it is also part of Fabula Nova Crystallis, it has practically no connection to XIII beyond being part of the same subseries. Dissidia Final Fantasy is a gaiden game that combines elements of the series' RPG Mechanics with a 3D arena-style Fighting Game. It would have a follow-up in the form of Dissidia Final Fantasy NT, which also got a gaiden of its own: Dissidia Final Fantasy: Opera Omnia, which plays more like a traditional RPG while borrowing gameplay elements from Dissidia.

With that cleared up, Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword could be considered one to the Xbox series.

There is also Path To Glory for fantasy which you play as an aspiring champion of chaos. 40k has the large-scale "narrative wargame" Inquisitor, space combat Battlefleet Gothic, massive-battle Epic, all-Ork Gorkamorka, air-battle Aeronautica Imperialis, gang-based Necromunda and the role-playing game Dark Heresy. Dawn of War was originally supposed to be this, creating an all-new Space Marine chapter, the Blood Ravens, to avoid stepping on continuity's toes. The fans liked them so much that Games Workshop went ahead and canonized them, the games, and the events therein. Also there is Kill Team for 40k that has a small team of elite units infiltrating and completing a objective.

Gaiden Game / int_c4a1d59e	comment	Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare for the Nintendo DS, in relation to the versions released on Xbox 360, PC, and PS3. The game features similar missions, but featuring characters from other teams operating either in parallel or in support of the teams from the main release. Every "main" release in the series from there til Black Ops II was followed by a handheld, mobile, and/or, in one case, last-gen version that acts as a side-story to the main game; the aforementioned last-gen version, for World at War, is notable in that it and the DS version both included a British campaign like every other World War II-based game in the series had, whereas the 360, PS3, and PC version had its British campaign and associated assets cut.

Gaiden Game / int_cf5c0f55	comment	There are two Japan-only games in the Suikoden series called, quite simply, Suikogaiden volumes 1 and 2. These games are basically side-stories featuring a previously unknown character from Harmonia named Nash Latkje (who would later appear as a Star of Destiny in Suikoden III). The two games take place around the time of Suikoden II, the first starting before and ending during II, and the second taking place shortly after the end of II. In both games, Nash interacts with various characters from Suikoden II, giving more perspective on many of the lesser-known characters. Lastly, Suikoden Tactics/Rhapsodia is another example, set just after Suikoden IV.

And for that matter, the MSX version of Salamander, and MSX exclusives Nemesis 2 and 3. The MSX Salamander plays more like a Gradius title, and has several new features such as a powerup that temporarily stops the screen scrolling. Nemesis 2 is an original title with the ability to fly into about-to-be-destroyed boss ships and obtain new powerups such as an upward-firing laser, at the cost of having a longer power meter. Nemesis 3 is a retelling of the more mainstram Gradius II: Gofer no Yabou with Nemesis 2-style gameplay. Also, the Salamander series is a gaiden series to Gradius.

Also, none of the Soul series characters appear in Weapon Master Mode; the characters in Weapon Master Mode use the fighters as "avatars," i.e. you're not actually fighting Mitsurugi, you're fighting some guy named Edgar. Although there is a Lizardman named Calcos, aka Aeon Calcos who was transformed into Lizardman in the first Soulcalibur. Boy is this complicated. In Soulcalibur III, it was a Euro-Asian conflict, by chance, happened to be in the areas where the characters looking for Soul Edge. The king you worked for had it all along, and is batshit insane. Chronicles of the Sword is an Alternate Universe, set on a fictitious continent with fictitious countries, and starring the Soul cast as mere cameos with no storyline relevance. It's not part of the main canon. Soulcalibur VI has a second Story Mode, Libra of Soul, which takes place concurrently with the rebooted main story told in Soul Chronicle, focusing on a player-created character as their journey to save their soul from the corruption of the Evil Seed takes them across Europe.

Gaiden Game / int_f04b4111	comment	Metroid: Metroid Prime Trilogy: The entire sub-series serves this role, taking place chronologically between Metroid/Zero Mission and Metroid II: Return of Samus/Samus Returns. While the Prime games are fully canon to the mainline 2D series, the events take place so early in the timeline, they don't get much more than the occasional Continuity Nod. Metroid Prime: Hunters is an installment focused on online multiplayer (but also with a single-player campaign) which canonically takes place between Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. Hunters is completely detached from the Phazon storyline that's at the core of every other entry in the original Prime trilogy, including Federation Force. Instead, the story concerns Samus and a group of other bounty hunters all fighting each other over a rumored "ultimate power." Beyond being the debut of Sylux, who would eventually be set up as a new antagonist following the defeat of Dark Samus, the game has no effect whatsoever on the overarching plot. Metroid: Other M is the only 3D game in the franchise not under the Prime banner. The game takes place between the events of Super Metroid and Metroid Fusion and explores elements of Samus's past; mostly her time as a soldier working directly under the Federation before leaving to do solo contract work. While the game does the needed work to fit into the timeline as a "Metroid 3.5", just like Hunters, it has zero effect on the overarching story, which was exemplified by series producer Yoshio Sakamoto introducing Metroid Dread as the end to a five-game Myth Arc, not a six-game one.

Gaiden Game / int_f6a54e75	comment	Kingdom Hearts : The handheld titles of the series are frequently considered Gaiden Games to the "main" series, perhaps because of their tendency towards Word Salad Titles and the fact that they're on handhelds, rather than consoles. This is not the case; these games are all full installments of the series which build upon the story of the games and lead directly into the next "main" game. Kingdom Hearts II makes more sense if you've played Chain of Memories and the games released after Kingdom Hearts II are quite clearly building up to a climax that's resolved in Kingdom Hearts III. Played straight with Kingdom Hearts coded to a degree. The main purpose of the game is to reveal the content of the letter written by Mickey to Sora at the end of Kingdom Hearts II and how Mickey found out about the fate of Aqua, Terra and Ventus, something the player already knows if they played Birth by Sleep previously. Most of the actual plot (Mickey creating a data Sora to restore Jimminy's journal by defeating bugs) has little bearing on the Myth Arc and is never alluded in the next game, Dream Drop Distance. It does contain a few relevant points that are obviously setting up for future games, though, including the first mention of the Book of Prophecy; Maleficent and Pete gaining knowledge of such a thing; and Mickey seeing all the people Sora has to help which includes Xion, a character he previously would have had no reason to be aware of at all, and that fans may have expected not to see again.
