Whenvideos games tell you to press X - Lemmy.world

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.
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.

Idk why everyone hated that comment but I think it’s smart

remapping is super useful, but the problem I have are when prompts on the screen relate to a button color, or show the 4 face buttons oriented like how they’d be on the controller it expects.

used to use my switch controller on pc, but games like Guardians of the Galaxy messed my brain up when it asks for the green ‘A’ button that’s supposed to be on the bottom of the 4 face buttons; ended up getting an xbox-style controller for pc

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.
