Staff Post: Community Survey Update

Hey folks,
Apologies for the delay here - we had intended to collate everyone's responses earlier in the week, but it got away from us a little. Over 40 of your shared your opinion for what you think should happen for this thread or the Speculation threads more broadly, and we really appreciate each and every contribution. Community engagement is super important to us, and it's gratifying to know how much you all care about this site and the people on it.
Overall, the vast majority of you seemed to favor keeping these threads in some form or another, although the specifics of what form that should take varied quite a bit. Ultimately, based on all of the responses we received, we think the best approach is to let this thread stay open until the likely September Direct. Thanks to @Raccoon's slight title tweak, we won't even really need to "convert" the thread as I had originally described. Of course, as June taught us, a September Direct is by no means guaranteed, and if the Tokyo Game Show comes and goes without a peep from Nintendo, we can re-evaluate how to proceed. For now though, we think there's no harm leaving this thread open to serve whatever speculation purposes seem the most appropriate.
As always, if you feel yourself tiring of constant speculation, we encourage you to take a break. Luckily the Nintendo community is no longer isolated to a single thread, so hopefully you don't see this a "don't like it? Too bad!"-style dismissal, but instead a gentle re-direction to threads that better serve your vibe. A reminder to everyone as well to stay welcoming and inclusive - these threads tend to lend themselves to an air of cliquiness that we should all do our best to mitigate.
Happy speculation, everyone!
