I believe the original Assassin's Creed fits the bill if I'm remembering the time of reveal correctly.
And does Shadow of the Colossus count?

Water is not wet!
This is probably the best one especially because the game doesnt really tell you. You have the conversation early in the game that mirrors the end dialogue and see the amulet (?) afterward but its up to you as the player to figure it out.
You can figure this out if you're paying attention and walk around town a lot.
Deadly Premonition villain spoilers
The best little secret they gave was in the Red Room at the very start of the game, dolls that look like Kaysen are pinned all over a map of the U.S. to show the other cities that he's infected

Well yeah, it became fairly obvious by process of elimination when you saw that
Phi had a twin
Sean shoot Delta during the standoff,
Delta was Zero.
I mean technically yes, you could absolutely guess that
Brother was Zero the whole time, but Delta specifically?

Final Fantasy IV's villain and Final Fantasy VIII's.
Yeah, I hoped this would be a thread full of cool masked villian pics, but it's just all black bars, no hope to escape the spoiling.

Ah, so the mysterious Mr. X was behind the entire nefarious plot!

That King sure is one evil robot mastermind!

Dr. Light?! For shame!

Dr. Wily is such a hero, fighting the deadly Roboenza and the robots infected!

999 seems like a poor example if only because
. Danganronpa is surely the better choice.
the main villain is revealed halfway through the game, and isn't Zero. Zero is basically the hero, or at least half of the hero
You are a liar, i clicked the spoiler but there were no tits to be found!
I know right. Castlevania Lords of Shadow really nailed it with the story delivery and the plot twists.
Read any Batman comic from 21th century and you can predict who the Arkham Knight is.

I don't know if I'd call that a villain reveal, tbh. By the time the game rolls around,

That's not an ending reveal, you find that out the first time you run into her in QP.
It's a thread EXPLICITLY about last-second reveals.
Yeah, it's Game Spoilers: The Thread. Thank goodness, if it was just pictures of masked dudes over and over that'd be really obnoxious.

Yeah Deadly Premonition and No More Heroes are amazing.
Other game like this is Ace Attorney Dual Destinies.

At the very end, with all options gone, Phoenix realizes that one person was always there during the murder of the victim in the last case; Bobby Fullbright! He's actually some mysterious agent called the Phantom and had a goal to reach. Its implied that he killed the real detective Fullbright. And the victim in the case.

Dhalia is reveled to be the villain 5min in.
And in the final case
she is not even the killer.
Shinna is a good one. The Investigation/DD team is really good at hiding bad guys.

As soon as I pick up AA6 I'm going to start guessing which new character is an identity-less super spy.
Thread needs more pictures of characters wearing disguises
Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask has the Masked Gentleman who's identity is
Often because the bad guy does a complete personality 180 when it's outed that it's them
Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask has the Masked Gentleman who's identity is
painfully obvious, especially considering this is Layton, the series known for crazy outlandish twists
