![[A] on bottom, [B] on right is the industry standard. Nintendo is the outlier and the control scheme sucks.](https://slrpnk.net/pictrs/image/1a61db3d-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?
IDC which way it goes but it would be nice to standardize it.
I kinda wanna know why they stopped doing the ting at the beginning of switch 1 where the glyphs were just the 4 face buttons with the one(s) you pressed highlighted. Maybe on handheld depending on resolution that’s not as recognizable but I was like hey, that’s pretty universal and uncontestable.
