This isn't true at all.

Months before their release in this gen yes.

Most of you seem to agree it's better that way, but i think they need to find a better balance: now sometimes, you discover a game only a few months before its release, and you're sometimes left with the impression there's nothing comin' in a distant future...

I prefer what they did with Other M, by example: to know the game exists one year before its release seems a better idea... no need to release tons of trailers, just an initial one, and then some cool infos every few months, and it's perfect that way...

Right now, i'd like to know what's happening with Retro, Intelligent Systems, and Hal Laboratory: just know the franchise they're workin' on would be enough to make me happy...

I just want to see Kirby Wii.

Hype has become overrated. Unfortunately, the group think of game "journalists" is based upon hype.

In this generation, sure. I took "never" to include their entire gaming history though.

Yes, Nintendo simply threw Punch Out! Wii in my face.

Their strategy made me buy PS3 1 month after buying Wii... so no, their strategy doesn't work for me...

It's why I refuse to hype games up for myself anymore, even games I'm really looking forward to (FF13, Golden Sun, Okamiden, Halo: Reach, etc.). I remember when the Smash Dojo was up, and I would read the updates on Brawl every day, no matter how lame they were. And when the game came out, there was no way it could live up to the hype I had built for it.

yeah, this generation has been the worst for many things. Hype, reviews, bias. It's like a revival of the 90's review mags. Just bring back the poor grammar.

we're confronted to extreems... 5 year Hype Vs 3 months hype....

The good amount of time should be about 9 months.

Very much this.
