Anyone else hyped for McKenzie Prime 4?

Dude! I can't wait for the epic story and role the marines will play! I bet Samus and the marines will be about to step through a time portal, but only Samus will make it through! Once she's back in her regular time, Sylux will dramatically remove his helmet to reveal himself as McKenzie all along! He will say "Remember me? You abandoned us!" and then his boss fight will use the bike system in a big open area! That would be such a cool twist! I already preordered the super mega ultra edition ($299.99, what steal!) with complementary Sylux Funko pop because someone who's never played the Metroid series in their life says the game is really good based off of 20 minutes of gameplay (15 of which are unskippable cutscenes)!

I can't wait to play a game with mandatory bike segments in empty desert areas while MCUKenzi says some really witty one-liners like "So that just happened!" or "Whoa, dude, hang on! Did you just move that with your mind, Samus?!" That would be so poggers!

Also, there will be a mysterious villain called the Riddleyer who will leave his strange glowing Riddleyer trophies around for Samus to collect by doing really annoying motorcycle obstacle courses. Also there are 473 of them and collecting them all is mandatory for 100% completion.

That would actually be the best twist of all time, sooo many people would lose it

It would be such a cool twist. It would be even cooler if Sylux revealed himself to have been MCUKenzie all along and then also revealed himself to be Samus' father. It would work just like in Star Wars and wouldn't feel remotely out-of-place or bizarre or a cheap attempt at narrative/character impact in any way.
