Getter Robo
The games' main influence is the creation of animated shows influenced by original units and characters created for the games. The best examples are "Getter Robo Armageddon", "Shin Getter Robo vs Neo Getter Robo" and the "Mazinkaiser" OVA, released in the United States in 2002. Shin Getter Robo first appeared in "Ken Ishikawa's" manga for "Getter Robo Go", then became by its apparition in various Super Robot Wars games until receiving its aforementioned OVAs. Mazinkaiser appeared for the first time in "Super Robot Wars F Final", released for the "Sega Saturn" and the Sony PlayStation in 1998, as an upgrade to the original Mazinger Z in order to allow the Mazinger franchise to compete with other super robots such as Shin Getter Robo. Mazinger Z writer and illustrator, Go Nagai, eventually implements it into his manga as the prototype of the other Mazinger machines, and the aforementioned OVA was also created.
