But to whom will they reveal it to? Gamers at large aren't going to be at a Nintendo only event, so then you limit yourself to who will tune in. Yes there will be every single gaming media convering it, but people will still be riding the high of this years E3 and whatever this years "Final Fantasy VII Remake" may be. Also, the ramping up hype for consoles, and games, and devices releasing at the end of the year will be in full force. Expect June, July, and August for the hype of E3 to carry throughout. Then Sept Oct and Nov will be huge advertisements for VR, PS4 Neo, ect. So when is that magical time to announce? 

Gamers at large arent going to be at E3 either

"E3 is a professional trade event and is not open to the general public. Individuals who are not able to document their direct and current professional affiliation to the interactive entertainment industry are not qualified to attend."

Taken directly from the E3 website.

I believe late August-early September would be a good time for the reveal, E3 hype will have died down and the ads for the big holiday products wont be in full force yet.

That is quite a large leap in faith you got there, especially when considering people not falling off the hype train once the advertisements for the others new products DO hit. Having people excited in Sept isn't going to matter if they jump ship to VR, or remodeled hardware in Oct or Nov.

The truth of the matter is there is no perfect time.
