Then I guess Coded is also a main series title because it's a sequel to KH2. LOL. |
2nd bolded: So if MG3 was named simply "Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater" would it then be considered a spin off because it isn't numbered? Are Vice City and San Andreas spin offs because they aren't title "GTAIV"?
1st and 3rd bolded: No. Coded has to do with a message in Jiminy Cricket's journal that he didn't notate himself. That and what you said at the end are EXACTLY what spin offs are. They deviate from the linear storyline to instead focus of events happening in the same universe at the time. (For example, FFVXIII is a spin off of FFXIII while Crisis Core is a prequel to FFVII)
BBS doesn't do that. It tells you the origins of the keyblade and how it leads up to the events in KH1. Where BBS ends, KH1 pick ups, thus making it a prequel, and not just some off shoot. SE could have EASILY named it KH3 if they wanted, ala MGS3 or DMC3 (the only examples I can think of that use this method), but they didn't. Either way, why do you even think that the secret ending of KH2 was titled "Birth By Sleep" and the theme of it was...."Birth By Sleep"?
So without continuing to go off topic, I'll ask my question again. Why is it that the prequel is going to the PSP, and the spin-off is going to the DS, if Disney loves Nintendo so much right now, and the DS has way more marketshare than the PSP?
