If this helps other people, this is what I do to try and avoid at least some spoilers. When a game gets down to the final month or so, I try and stop reading stuff about it. I don't need to see a million trailers or read articles if I"m pretty sure I want it. So as long as I can avoid Tweet spoilers (thank you very much NIntendo of America Twitter for spoiling the hidden character yesterday) I usually can keep a few surprises for when I play the game.
I would never stop myself from buying a game b/c of a spoiler (unless I was on the fence and maybe the ending was spoiled) but I do like that feeling you get when you unlock a new mode or get a special character.
This is actually can still happen if you buy some games that are less hyped up. You unlock some cool characters from other games in Orochi 3 Warriors for Wii U, and b/c I read squat on that game leading up to it, those were pretty sweet surprises.
OK, I think I ranted long enough.
