Why does Nintendo insist on putting the X button on the Y axis and vice versa? I can accept "A" being the confirm button but this will always fuck me up.

Please don't criticise the Switch 2, it hurts my best friend nintendo's feelings, please play Switch 2 video games!

This videos shows what companies like Nintendo go through when you criticise them.

Because they've used that configuration sincr the SNES you fucking retarded zoomer. They were the first to do the ABXY configuration.

>>713921001 (OP)
Nintendo buttions is the natural order, Xbox scheme is faggotry

>>713921001 (OP)
Because that's how they've always done it. The reversed Xbox config actually comes from SEGA.
>>713921807
Fuck off falseflagger.

Name one fucking game where the X button does something related to the X axis and the Y button does something related to the Y axis.

Just because you do it first doesn't mean you're right.

>>713921001 (OP)
If I'm not mistaken, the various button placements are a means for Nintendo and/or other companies of differentiating themselves.

Take Sony's controller layout--as far as old-school symbology is concerned, 'O' is supposed to be acceptable or affirmations, while 'X' is considered wrong or an error. I can only assumbe a similar mentality caries over to Nintendo's controllers since almost all of their first-party games use 'A' for accept, and 'B' for back.

All things considered, it was probably Microsoft/Xbox that switched things up as far as their controllers, while third-party developers functionally made 'X' the de facto accept.

There's nothing "right" or "wrong" about it, you're just a fucking retard that doesn't have enough brain space to remember two different controller schemes when playing a game

>>713922365
Yes, it does. Simply because your Zoomer hands touched an Xbox controller first isn't Nintendo fault.

Because Y comes after X, and the left face button feels like the 'last' button. Except for triggers, which are the actual last buttons, which is why they're called ZL amd ZR.

>>713922534
Not OP, but my counter argument is muscle memory.

Goddamn, is it ever hard to switch from Nintendo to just about literally any game company.

>>713922635
Okay, pressing up on a d-pad is now how you jump in every 2D platformer.

>>713921945
>Name calling instead of solid argument.
Okay faggot.

How are you people so goddamn stupid

>>713921001 (OP)
no reason

>>713921001 (OP)
because it has nothing to do with the X and Y axis
>>713922712
has a good explanation for why the layout may have been chosen that way

>>713921001 (OP)
It's THEIR design.

Everyone else is copying Nintendo.

>>713923129
the real reason is they're just xbox layout kiddies, whether explicitly (use xbox controllers) or implicitly/indirectly (use a third-party controller, vast majority of which have a visible xbox layout)

>>713923129
Who would put something in the top left versus bottom right?

>>713921001 (OP)
>Being autistic about the face button positions
Just stop being autistic in general
