Golf, tennis, baseball and more
We all expected Kinect Sports to receive a sequel, so the announcement that Kinect Sports Season Two is on the way wasn't much of a surprise. We weren't expecting it to be developed by Kinect Joy Ride studio BigPark, though.
About time
Last year's Fable III was supposed to receive Kinect support but it never happened, and now we suspect we know why: Fable: The Journey is coming to Kinect.
Strategy, shooting and more
Ubisoft's CEO Yves Guillemot took to the stage at E3 2011 to talk more about Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier and revealed its long-rumoured Kinect support.
Microsoft's E3 show is happening right now, and EA's Mass Effect 3 is confirmed to include Kinect voice commands.
You've been able to link your Club Nintendo account to Nintendo's downloadable offerings for some time now, so it's no surprise that the upcoming eShop will offer the same option, with Nintendo Europe announcing a bonus 100 VIP Stars for users who link their accounts.

Taking the Mickey
A few weeks ago we discovered that Microsoft was working with a 'leading entertainment brand' for Kinect, and now it's been revealed the brand is none other than the House of Mouse itself, Disney.
The domain names we reported on earlier were interesting but not really solid confirmation of upcoming Kinect titles; companies register domain names all the time, just to be on the safe side. No, what we really needed for solid proof was the US Xbox site to go live with big announcements before the E3 show kicked off. Thank goodness that's exactly what's happened, then.
Ding ding, round two
We're a few short hours from Microsoft's E3 2011 press conference and the rumours are flying in thick and fast. Twitter user Superannuation has unearthed a handful of domains registered by Microsoft that hint at some big announcements coming up.
Patch coming soon
A recent SpotPass message from Nintendo let 3DS owners know about the upcoming eShop update, but right at the bottom lies an interesting statement: the update might cause issues with Ridge Racer 3D.Important notice: Users of Ridge Racer 3D who install this Nintendo 3DS system update may experience gameplay disruption under certain circumstances. A further update will be made available later this month to resolve this issue.Let's hope that Namco's sleek racer isn't too heavily affected by the update.
