EA’s Fight Night Kinect Experiments Could Create Minigames

Not in Fight Night Champion, though
There's two options for Kinect owners wanting to enter the squared circle for a spot of boxing: Rare's excellent Kinect Sports and Ubisoft's not-bad MotionSports, but arguably neither does an excellent job of simulating the intricacies of the sport. EA's Fight Night series has earned itself a good reputation for just that, and although this year's Fight Night Champion won't be using Kinect that doesn't mean EA has ruled out sensor support in future titles. In fact, it's already dome some prototyping to see how the two might work together.

Ubisoft Could Bring Big Name Franchises to Kinect

Ubisoft is the leading third-party publisher on Kinect, so it's no surprise the international giant is looking to bring more of its popular franchises to the sensor. In an interview with retail magazine MCV, Ubisoft's chief marketing and sales officer Geoffroy Sardin hinted at future titles to come from the publisher.
We will be bringing some of the industry’s most innovative offerings to Kinect soon. I think we can propose Kinect versions of all the brands that we’ve got, but it is down to the production team. I can’t announce anything, but we will have something for everyone, that I can assure you.With heavyweight brands like Assassin's Creed, Just Dance, Rayman, Prince of Persia and the Tom Clancy name including Splinter Cell, Ghost Recon and Rainbow Six, Ubisoft could certainly deliver on its "something for everyone" promise, but how well these games would translate to Kinect is another matter entirely.
