I remember not being into video game news before Melee was released. Playing the game completely blind was so much better than what I experienced with the sequels. Even staying clear of the Dojo didn't help because the news was spread on every video game site anyways...and I'm not going to stop visiting those sites because Nintendo spoils everything.
Like I did with BotW, I'll stay clear of everything aside from the E3 trailer for Super Mario Odyssey.
