Just think: If Ridley is confirmed as a newcomer, awful things will happen: There will be lots and lots of hate for Metroid fans and those who doesn't want Ridley to be playable. And then, the game will be ruined. That's why Ridley must stay as a stage boss, whether the Ridley fans like it or not, considering this a "good thing".
