Bunker and Lab

This talk page or section has a conflict or question that needs to be answered. Please try to help and resolve the issue by leaving a comment.

Turns out the Lab in LM3 has the same Japanese name of "Base Lab" as the Bunker from LM2. Considering how very similar they look, this seems to be intended as a recurring location of sorts, even if they're probably not literally the same physical object. Now, I won't be proposing a merge or anything, with the LM2 remake on the way, I just ask that it joins Boolossus (and possibly the pest enemies) in the "we shall see" pile. (By the way, just in case this comes up, it appears both games' scripts were written in Japanese first and then translated into English, despite the games being developed by NLG) Blinker (talk) 17:01, October 25, 2023 (EDT)

Keep it in the "We shall see" pile for now. Japan may have just come up with it for convenience purposes. PrincessPeachFan (talk) 11:20, November 2, 2023 (EDT)

Well, LM2 has been renamed, but the remake uses pretty much the same script as the original, so nothing new there. I don't think there's anything more for "we" to "shall see", I doubt this is every going to get revisited, so... might as well pick this up now, hm? By the way, regarding my assertion above that "it appears both games' scripts were written in Japanese first and then translated into English", while that's the case for LM3, it's really not clear how LM2 was written. The English and Japanese scripts are so different that it feels like they were written simultaneously. But that doesn't actually matter, because LM3 was the game to bring back the bunker/lab.
