I guess you're right but I think there are some exceptions... Apparently, the Archie comics acknowledged and included the stories from the Sonic Adventure series along with the background of Shadow, which was also a part of those games (although I'm not yet sure if they also included Shadow's history from Shadow the Hedgehog. I'm sure they didn't do Sonic Heroes (where Shadow had lost his memory) so therefore they wouldn't have needed to include Shadow the Hedgehog anyway.
