For a long time the overseas rights to any of the Lupin the III stuff was blocked because the character was supposed to be the grandson of a character from a french novel series about a thief Arsene Lupin. That may be one of the reasons why the game was named "Cliff Hanger" aside from the bad pun aspects. This finally changed a few years back when the copyright on the original french novels finally expired and then the Japanese Lupin the IIIrd stuff could be sold without such dodges as changing Lupin's name to "The Wolf" and other such feeble workarounds.</blockquote>
