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?

    Retro having is about recreating the feeling of a different era. Who in the ever loving fuck are you to decide your personal opinion should be enforced on millions of people.

    You are an asshole for this opinion to make everyone do what YOU want.

    Do you like being like Donald Trump and the rest of the Epstein class/fundamental religious assholes, even just in this extremely minor way? Do you? Well just because you hold an opinions doesn’t mean you get to enforce it on everyone else.

    Go away

    Hard disagree, most people play Nintendo games on retro handhelds. Retro handhelds usually emulate PS1, which also mostly had circle to accept and X to cancel (and still does in Japan). Nobody is emulating xbox games. Following what most people are playing is the right choice, and that’s usually NES/SNES/N64/GBA.

      This right here. Nintendo is Japanese, It’s the Japanese layout, just like Sony uses.

        Just like Sony uses? Circle being enter/accept and X being cancel/back was the original intention, but that got mixed up in the US almost immediately and it wasn’t long before X became equivalent to A in most games in all regions even on the original ps1. For the vast majority of games, the Sony layout is effectively the same as the Xbox layout, just with idiosyncratic glyphs.
