Xbox One will not support Xbox 360 controllers or accessories - fight sticks and pads likely won't work on next-gen console

Joystiq posted an article with information pertaining to the Xbox One and compatibility with its predecessor. Microsoft has confirmed that Xbox 360 controllers and the Kinect will not be supported on the new console.

A Microsoft spokesman relayed this statement unto Joystiq when prompted on the matter.

A Twitter user went a step further and asked about Xbox 360 accessory compatibility for the Xbox One. Unfortunately, the Twitter account confirmed that accessories will also not be usable on the next console.

Considering neither controllers nor accessories from the Xbox 360 will work on the Xbox One, this more than likely means fight sticks and pads will follow suit. This will eventually raise problems for tournament organizers once we see next-gen fighting game releases.

Additionally, fight stick manufactures will have to create sticks soley for the next-gen console and for those competing in games on both 360 and One, this could mean dragging around two controllers at an event.

How do you feel about the Xbox One's lack of support for accessories and controllers from its predecessor? Let us know in the comments below.

Batgirl bolo glitch and infinite discovered in Injustice: Gods Among Us - practical setups video by Nerd Josh

Nick Fitzgerald recorded footage of a day 1 glitch and infinite combo using Batgirl in Injustice: Gods Among Us. When whiffing a normal after using her Bab's Bolo special move, Batgirl can use the meter burn version without any meter actually being depleted.

By doing so, this allows her to pop the opponent up after the bolo, hit them with a wall bounce, then repeat. This combo isn't very difficult to pull off and what makes this even more dangerous is the fact that once a new bolo hits, the combo counter resets causing the damage scaling to restart.

Additionally, TS|Nerd Josh created a video showing off a slew of practical uses for this Batgirl infinite. You can check it out after the jump.

Microsoft may show off 'historic' Rare franchise on Xbox One at E3, possible Killer Instinct title in the works

Yesterday Microsoft held their conference in Redmond, Washington, unveiling their next-gen console, the Xbox One. While there really wasn't much shown off that was tailored to the fighting game community, it seems there is a possibility we may be seeing something many fans have been waiting, once E3 rolls around.

Microsoft's Studios corporate vice president Phil Spencer spoke to Polygon recently during which he stated that Rare, the development team behind the Killer Instinct Franchise, may be making an appearance at E3 to show off a "historic" IP. He goes on to say that fans of Rare will be pleased with what will be shown at the event and the IP being developed can play a major role on Xbox One.

Below is Spencer's statement via Polygon.

Back in September of last year, Rare was denied a trademark renewal on Killer Instinct due to Fox having a short lived television show that shared the same name. This confusion was cleared up last month when Microsoft and Fox signed a Trademark Coexistence Agreement allowing both brands to exist simultaneously without conflict.

With a new age of consoles on the horizon, reviving a classic fighting game such as Killer Instinct would be a breath of fresh air and a great way to begin the new year. I think it's about time we got our Super Linkers, Combo Breakers and Ultras back. Don't you?

Skullgirls to be released in Japanese arcades on Taito's Nesica system

It was confirmed yesterday by the official Skullgirls Twitter account that the game will be seeing a release in Japanese arcades some time soon. An arcade release document listed Skullgirls as an upcoming title to be playable on Taito's Nesica system.

Lead Skullgirls designer Peter Bartholow further confirmed the Japan release by stating his excitement toward the project and how the team sees this more as a chance to get Skullgirls out there as opposed to an opportunity to make money.

Bartholow also mentioned that the Skullgirls team is not working on this port themselves but rather, a Japanese development team is. The developer for the Japanese Skullgirls arcade release has not yet been disclosed.

It is said that the arcade version of the game will receive all of the upcoming DLC characters. According to Bartholow, we can expect to see Skullgirls in Japan "as soon as possible".
