The series has gone full-circle with three [[Animated Adaptation]]s: a three-part OVA whose events were rolled into OG Gaiden, "Divine Wars", a re-telling of the first game, and "The Inspector", which covers the second game. There is also a manga adaptation: "Record of ATX", which goes through the first game from Kyosuke's point of view.

As of August 2011, nearly 7 years after OG2 was released on the Gameboy Advance, the TRUE non-[[Gaiden Game]], non-remake sequel has been announced. Entitled ''The Second Super Robot Wars Original Generation'', it will be the first SRW to be released on the [[PlayStation 3]]. According to initial scans, the story will expand the ''Alpha 2'' plotlines of Kusuha Mizuha's and Ibis' into Original Generation, as well as concluding the MX saga. In addition, Joshua Radcliffe and Cliana Rimskaya of ''[[Super Robot Wars Destiny]]'', Ariel Org and Duvan Org of ''Real Robot Regiment'' and Ing Egret from the ''Alpha 2'' side-story manga ''Lost Children'', and a brand new character (currently enemy), a black haired, black leotard-wearing woman named Aamara, piloting a custom Huckebein, will be the new entrants into the series. From a mecha standpoint, they finally included RyuKoOh and KoRyuOh's brother machines JakuBuOh and BuJakuOh, although who are piloting them remain a mystery. Additionally, the game cover features the RaiOh from ''Alpha 3'', yet a villainous AI-controlled [[Super Prototype]] appears, whose objective is the destruction of the other Dynamic General Guardian [[Super Robot|super robots]]. Its name? The ''[[Continuity Nod|Jin]][[Mythology Gag|Rai]]''.

* [[Beach Episode]]: Present in both games for no reason other than [[Fan Service]]. Then the ending credits of ''The Inspector'' is one itself. Notably absent are [[Charles Atlas Superpower|Lune Zoldark]], [[The Captain|Lefina Einfield]], [[Hot-Blooded|Katina]], [[Body Horror|Radha Byraban]], [[Tsundere|Rio Mei Long]], and [[Pettanko|Ibis Douglas]]. Strangely, [[Too Cool to Live|Ouka Nagisa]] is present.

* [[Deconstruction]]: Believe it or not OG1 did this to [[Super Robot]]s: instead of ultimate machines that run on willpower alone, all supers are treated as considerably stronger [[Real Robot]]s that run on feasible Earth technology and dynamics. This is later reconstructed in the sequel, with the introduction of the Choukijin. It isn't until the appearance of Fighter Roar and his Compatible Kaiser that we get classic [[Super Robot]].

This hack adds the units: Wildschwein, Wild Raubtier, Grungust Type 0, Grungust Custom, Granzon, Excellence S, Excellence C, and Jaohm in addition to 2 new pilots. Latooni's, and Katina's OGs themes are in this along with music from SRW Advance, Hero Senki, and Lord of Elemental. Also Sanger can have Gate of Magus as a pilot theme.
