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.
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. ๐
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 ๐
๐ 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.
Both triggers of the original steam controller had the click.
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. ๐ญ
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.
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.
