I don't think Sonic Unleashed is canon to begin with. And again, different opinions. I believe it to be canon, and someone else agrees with me. Thanks, FrosttheHobidon! http://frostthehobidon.deviantart.com/gallery/31457296/Sonic He even calls Sonic from both the reboot and preboot "New Universe/Post-SGW/Game Sonic" and "Pre-SGW Mobius Sonic". Amazing. Sonc Unleashed is definately canon. It is a major game of the series and was in Sonic Generations.

If it's in Sonic Generations, or very least mentioned, it is definately canon. And since Sonic Generations is about Sonic's own history of adventures throughout the games and the Freedom Fighters not showing up to his birthday party, that just further solidfies the fact Archie and Sega prefer to keep it seperate.
