This is the second manga specifically for the american market after Oni. According to some Italian web pages, an animated series and a manga were planned, but ultimately it ended up being a unique one-shot with a video game, although the video game was for the manga published in 1990. I'd say that MazinSaga was in the fact the true project, not Mazinger USA.

The names, Mazinwarrior and Mazinsaga are incorrect, as no Japanese has ever called this series by that name, but it helps to differentiate it from other Mazingers (even if MazinSaga shouldn't be used since there's already the 1990 MazinSaga manga).
