![[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?
Confirm being on the right is more retro, though. Nintendo is the way they are because they didn’t change. Surely it makes sense for a retro handheld to use retro controls?
