* Most ''Warhammer 40000: DawnOfWar'' deny that the events of Soulstorm never happened due to the sheer amount {{narm}} it has. Dawn of War II, however, states that it actually ''is'' canon, but as [[ColdSniper Cyrus]] states in the campaign, the whole Kaurava campaign was was [[LampshadeHanging "best forgotten"]].

** Some claim that ''SuperSmashBros Brawl'' did not replace Mewtwo with Lucario. Fans of Mewtwo are never happy with anything that displaces it from the top of the original {{Pokemon}} food chain.

*** Of course it didn't replace him. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AYyn8HFTUU He's right here.]]
*** Mewtwo wasn't even top of the Pokémon food chain in ''Melee'' - he was bottom tier, below Jigglypuff and Pikachu.
**** Maybe they meant in actual Pokémon universe. Can't say much for the "Melee" game since I've never played it.

** Which is odd considering that ''Xtreme 2'' introduces us to Iris, Zero's [[TearJerker infamous]] [[TheGwenStacy Gwen Stacy]]; in ''X4'', he already knows her on a personal basis, ImpliedLoveInterest and all. Plus, ''X6'' ''specificially'' refers to the Erasure Incident (again, the events of ''Xtreme 2'') near endgame. Not to mention that [[WordOfGod Keiji Inafune]] has stated that Zero's ending in ''X6'' (where he [[spoiler:[[SealedGoodInACan seals himself away]] so that his [[TheVirus viral programming]] can be removed, thus setting up the Elf Wars and ''MegaManZero'']]) is the final event of the ''X'' series.
* Similarly, in the original ''MegaMan'' series, many discontinue the PC games ''Mega Man 1'' and ''Mega Man 3''. That they're both [[SoBadItsHorrible horrifically bad]] doesn't help, but even within the [[ExcusePlot bare-bones plot of the series]], they just don't make any sense.

* Fans of the

*** Speaking of Red..He's always drawn in a {{Bishonen}} style vaguely resembling his actual pre-Gen 3 design.

** Personalities also get this. May is not subjected to "RealWomenNeverWearDresses" despite the fact her [=NPC=] role as of ''[[PokemonRubyAndSapphire Emerald]]'' fits MarySue and FriendToAllLivingThings. [[PokemonRedAndSilver Silver]] is treated more like his ''PokemonSpecial'' counterpart and as a {{Tsundere}} rather then the abusive {{JerkAss}} he is pre HeelFaceTurn. Red is treated as TheStoic rather then his implied HotBlooded personality.

** And then there is ''[=DmC=]: Devil May Cry'', a ContinuityReboot with such an [[TaintedByThePreview overwhelming]] [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks negative]] [[RuinedFOREVER response]] that it makes the flak thrown at ''Devil May Cry 2'' [[BeyondTheImppsible look tame in comparison]].

** From the same series, the ''[[XtremeKoolLetterz Mega Man XTreme]]'' games are often discontinued. [[YourMileageMayVary Say what you will about how good their gameplay is]], but they don't fit well into the series' overall plot.

* A good majority of FZero fans prefer to believe that ''Maximum Velocity'' never happened for one reason or another. ''GP Legend'' is no different... despite being a non-canon series to begin with. Nintendo seems to be on a similar wavelength with both series, as all the GBA games aren't even referenced in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''.

** On the subject of CT, many fans cried "NoJustNo" when the DS remake canonized [[spoiler: Dalton]] as the agent for Guardia's destruction.

** GUYS. Guys. It's ''Tetris''. Break it up.

'''Note''': Do not include examples based only in AdaptationDecay. Adaptations (such as the ''{{Pokemon}}'' anime) can not be discontinued since it is not part of the continuity of the original. If WordOfGod has declared an adaptation canon (such as with ''DevilMayCry''), only then can you discontinue it.

** More germane to the topic may be the fact that there are ''still'' copyright disputes as to whether Nintendo or Rare holds the rights to Diddy Kong & Co.

* Fans of the ''{{Tsukihime}}'' VisualNovel tend to ignore the anime adaptation for a variety of reasons, including CharacterDerailment, the cutting of many important plot routes, and the complete lack of Nanaya.

** The gap is lampshaded in-game. Tales is actually the SIXTH Monkey Island game chronologically.

-- TheLegendOfZeldaCDIgames -- are universally despised by fans of the series and all are seen as if they never happened.
