Wait, so you'd want them to wait until the month of release before showing off the game properly? Can't say I'd be a fan of that.

Reveals with gameplay footage 6-12 months out from release work best in my opinion, with a steady dripfeed of new info and footage over the following months to maintain interest. So yeah, Odyssey is a pretty good example of the ideal method in my book.

Yeah, 6months is fine, but 1-2 should be experimented with - we're in an age of mass digital distraction, the dilution of new footage happens at an exceedingly quicker rate. I do liek that they broke it up into "stages" with the cappy-reveal being the next stage of the reveal. Still too soon for me.

The issue I see with waiting until 1-2 months out to reveal is that at any one time there won't be many known upcoming games to look forward to. At the moment, for instance, all we'd know about to be excited for would be Splatoon 2 and Kingdom Battle, we wouldn't have Odyssey, Xenoblade 2, Prime 4, Kirby, Yoshi, Fire Emblem, etc to get hyped for.
