It's kind of like a movie trailer.  You want to give enough away to get people interested.  You don't want to spoil the ending or even the whole plot though.  That is just too much.

After E3, I think people basically made up their mind if they were going to buy the game or not.  I would have been ok if I didn't know about Simon Belmont in the game though.  That would have been a nice surprise.  Really the E3 info was enough.

Your analogy doesn't fit because  the plot is not even comparable to gameplay and features what you're suggesting is more akin to having a trailer that shows nothing but a blank screen, fact is the majority of consumers old and new would be more inclined to pick up the game knowing about the features.

Agreed. If I was a non-Smash fan, seeing a poster of Mario, Sonic, Pac-Man, Ryu, Mega Man, Cloud, AND Simon, along with some of the most iconic Nintendo franchises in history, old and new, would be the most hype thing I would ever see. As a gaming fan in general, this is basically promoting the fact that Ultimate, as said by Sakurai, is the “biggest crossover in gaming history.” That is something very Few games, before and, maybe, after, can argue against. This is like Justice League Unlimited or Avengers Infinity War.
