If those games are going to be released here, would his name be something like that?
I ask this because of Clu Clu Land. It was known as "Kurukuru Land" in Japan, because of...you know?

It's possible. Clulin is easier to say.

Well, in Europe it wasn't translated at all. In fact, Clu Clu Land is perhaps a bit of a poor translation that means very little to anyone outside of Japan.
Still, I'm puzzled as to why they didn't translate the name of the helicopter stick to Helirin, and left it as Heririn. That's just lazy!

Yeah, but sometimes you have to translate stuff. It's all very well keeping the original names, but then the Japanese have names that are slight puns, while the English have completely meaningless names.
And the Japanese don't have Ls and Rs distinguished from each other... hence why Heririn should have been translated better.
