Hotfix available for Injustice: Gods Among Us - fixes Batgirl infinite combo, Wonder Woman and Red Hood Joker

Yesterday, Injustice: Gods Among Us was hotfixed to fix a few of the game's problems after the patch v1.03. Multiple issues have been fixed including Batgirl's infinite combo, Red Hood Joker not being selectable and a delay in Wonder Woman's recovery on her Back+Hard.

After the patch hit, Alex Valle tested Batgirl's infinite and it was still possible, quickly afterwards Paulo Garcia, Injustice's lead designer, specifially noted that they only fixed the infinite against other players. For the time being it's still possible in training mode and will receive a full fix later.

Hotfix is Live. Red Hood Joker, Wonder Woman, and Batgirl <3

Update: Xbox One will not support Xbox 360 wireless controllers or accessories, currently do not have specifics on wired devices

Updated: Another Twitter User, Frank Bivens, asked Xbox Support Twitter specifically about wired devices including the arcade fightsticks. In theory USB 3.0 on the Xbox One is compatible with USB 2.0 on the current wired devices for the Xbox 360. 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.

Aksys Games to announce two new titles at E3

Aksys Games, known largely for their localization efforts, are set to announce two new titles at this year's E3. So why should the fighting community care? Well, Aksys also have a history of localizing the games developed by Arc System Works, namely Guilty Gear and BlazBlue.

A new Guilty Gear was announced just a few days ago, but there was no word on a release outside of Japan, making it a prime suspect as one of these E3 reveals.

Another title that has yet to be announced outside of Japan is the upcoming BlazBlue: Chronophantasma. While it might be wise to not expect both of these titles to be announced at the same time for an overseas release, it would seem highly likely that at least one of them will be coming our way, perhaps even sooner than expected.

So if you had your choice, which of these two titles would you want to see confirmed for a stateside release? Or maybe you have something completely different in mind? Let us know in the comments.
