    Meanwhile, I’m annoyed by the shift from Y/triangle to B/circle for navigating back in menus. Nintendo, as far as I know (console ownership gap between SNES and Switch), kept their button assignments for those consistent.

      I remember the PlayStation doing that since the PS2. I had like 30 or so games which had X for accept and O for back. But then I played a remastered Uncharted on my PS4 and was utterly confused to see triangle for back.

      lol not at all. Your gap of skipping N64 and GameCube misses the inconsistencies perfectly. Have a look at images of the N64 and GameCube controllers. 😄

      The Switch is the console that went back to the roots of the SNES.

        I vaguely remember playing on GameCubes at the dentist’s office back then, could never figure out button mappings for the games 😂

          😁 GC controller easily the best controller for a console. So comfortable, could play for hours on that thing. I especially loved the click at the bottom of the triggers. Ingenious thing that nobody did before or since.

              Oof, did I forget? I bought that on release bruh, how could I forget. Well, at least not on any console controllers I’m aware of. 😭

              Steam Controller was aight. No match for the Xbox Elite though. That was tight. And now I’m using an 8bitDo Ultimate 2 Wireless, with TMR sticks and Hall Effect triggers. World of difference. Old style sticks feel like ancient cave man tech now.
