All sorts of craziness can be caused there (Kyon dying, Haruhi meeting her younger self, Kimidori replacing Nagato, etc.) since its a visual novel with lots of bad endings. Since no english translation of the game has been made widely available, I think most of us, myself included, are quite ignorant of what else is going on in the Haruhi universe.
Since when any of these video-games are canon? Have Tanigawa been involved with then in any aspect?

There is a fan-translation patch? Really? Where can I find it, do you know? And having Haruhi asking Mikuru to sing the OP is more like a small reference then an evidence. Personally, I would only take it as canon if I see a reference, even if small, in either the novel (for being 'novel-canon') or in the anime (for being 'anime-canon').

Actually, the anime canon is kinda messed up now isn't it? In Disappearance movie Haruhi mentioned she had been drunk before, but no such thing happened in the anime.
