Pow! Take that, E3

Will we see Just Dance cross over too?

Ubisoft has had considerable success with its Kinect line-up so far, despite its — ahem — sometimes shaky quality, but the publisher is looking to make a big song and dance about its upcoming line-up at E3 2011.

We've just had confirmation that the giant will be showing off MotionSports Adrenaline — a title we first reported on in March — as well as titles in its Your Shape and Just Dance ranges. Rumours suggest that we could see the next entry in Ubisoft's multimillion-selling dance series heading to Kinect this year, which would certainly give Dance Central some competition in the popularity stakes.

We'll also find out if, as rumoured, Ghost Recon: Future Soldier will be playable with Kinect.

Microsoft's E3 2011 news conference kicks off at 9:30am Pacific time on Monday 6th June, which is 5:30pm UK time.
