![[A] on bottom, [B] on right is the industry standard. Nintendo is the outlier and the control scheme sucks.](https://lemmy.ml/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fslrpnk.net%2Fpictrs%2Fimage%2F1a61db3d-b6b5-443c-b76a-47dd1b42815a.jpeg){kind=link}
Sega, Xbox, Steam - and functionally speaking, even Sony all default to a face button scheme with the action/enter/accept button on the bottom, and cancel/back on the right. Nintendo’s control scheme is really the primary thing that throws a wrench in retro handheld setups. It’s also just a bad layout. X on top? What is that nonsense?
I personally LOVE the “BAXY” ( right down left up ) layout because I think it is the most logical button layout. As much as I’m not a fan of microsoft, they perfected button layout, IMO.
