    Biggest annoyance for me is how on playstation and Xbox the bottom button makes is the “okay” or “enter” button and the right button is “back” but on the switch it’s reversed so when I click the bottom button to select something in a menu I back out of it instead.

      Its a old japan thing from what I remember . On older Japanese ps1 games circle was ok and X was back . And even if you get a Japanese ps vita it’s like that too. Not sure about other sony consoles.

      Worse than that, on the psp if you play japanese games that are not localised to english, the circle becomes the okay button, but in the rest of the os, the x is the okay button so you have to mentally switch.

        That is why I use a third party controller that allows me to remap buttons.

        8BitDo Pro 2

        I can use it for the PC, Switch, Xbox, or PlayStation.

            Yeah, that does give me issues too. I’ve setup my controller as as Xbox controller also. When the Switch shows to press the “A” button (At 3:00 o’clock), I try to not look at the placement, but the letter, which would be my 6:00 o’clock.

      IIRC on the PS2 and earlier triangle was usually back. Just an extra little dash of inconsistency to ruin your day.

      I played Sniper Elite 5 on my fiances Xbox the other day and hadn’t played games in forever. (34 years old now) I knew I could remap the buttons if needed, but the melee button they made Y. I pressed down the right stick every damn time as a built in reaction from years back.

      I don’t know why I felt I needed to say that, but I tell you when you find yourself looking through binoculars and getting lit up at point blank range it reminded me how frustrating games can get during quick scenarios.
