I think I know the answer, but I just wanted to be clear. Is Command Mission a part of canon, or just a side game?

I don't see why it wouldn't be canon: it's an official game, by Capcom, which doesn't contradict anything established (besides the few usual plot points, just like any other X game).

Could be that MMX:Command Mission was like a side-story, but if that being so. Where did the rest of the characters run off too?

The game kinda sets up Giga City as being farther away from most crisis points, so it could be that they stay there in their seemingly remote (and awesome-looking) home.

Which sounds suspiciously plausible for a Mega Man game at that.

Well, I guess it's canon if you don't mind the reploid aging and reproduction issues and what not. XD

So yeah, I guess it could be considered just as canon as many of the other games.

I just asked because I was planning a story which killed off Axl, but it relied on X8's ending to put it into action. Of course, I think I can plan for the gap between it and Command Mission.

The canon's so screwed up anyways, might as well just do whatever you want with Command Mission.

I'd say it's canon. As stated the MM story/canon is that much of a mess nobody really takes any notice.

It does seem weird that Giga City is so huge and awesome and just happens to exist in the middle of nowhere...BTW who the hell sent X and Zero there anyway?

I traded my copy in a while back but I'd beat it several times and got X and Zero's armours so there's no real regret. (That Ultimate Armor was the shizzle)

The installations were built there for a very specific reason: that's where the meteorite containing the Force Metal was found. It's logical to setup the required facilities right next to the source of the mineral.

It's Colonel Redips himself who assigned X, Zero and Axl to the Giga City mission. We see that during one of the cutscenes in the game.

Command mission is definatly Canon, it is meant to be a side story, now non canon is definatly the MM anime series, but Capcom still kept it almost way similar and identical to the VG, it was considered non canon though.

Command Missions takes place between X7 and X8, I believe it's a Sidestory like Cyber Mission and Soul Eraser.

To be honest, I think the X series needs more sidestories.

I thought Command Mission was supposed to be in 22XX.

It is in 22XX, which places it after Mega Man X8.

So much for Axl going Maverick or dying 'cause of Lumine, huh?

Considering that several years could be located between the events of X8 and Command Mission, there's room for him to go maverick if you so wish. Dying seems to be out of the question, though, much to some people's chagrin.

Wait a minute. If Axl goes Maverick, then they'd have to off him, right? Since no cure seems to exist for the Maverick Virus. That means either that ending with Axl in X8 was a fake-out, or something would happen in X9 to fix this. But it's probably never gonna get made, so I gotta assume it was a fake-out.

See, I was planning to have it be some dormant viral code, maybe being due to an incomplete transfer from Lumine, which then would result in a Throne of Bhaal type of contest to replace Sigma as head of the Mavericks.

To those intereted, the Throne of Bhaal incident was in the Baldur's Gate games (based on the DnD world, the forgotten realms) the plot took place shortly after the death of the god Bhaal, where his backup plan was revealed. See, he sired several offspring of many races who had a shred of his divinity. They were driven to kill all of the others, much like the movie the Highlander, with the survivor inheriting the throne.

I was thinking something like that.
