I mentioned this a big yesterday, but I wanted to reiterate that we will indeed be covering conferences for both EA and Ubisoft today. I’m pretty sure that Ubisoft will be focusing on at least Red Steel 2 and Rabbids Go Home. EA will definitely have some Nintendo news as well.

Anyways, here are the times for both conferences:

EA – 5:00 PM EST/2:00 PM PST
Ubisoft – 8:00 PM EST/5:00 PM PST
