WTF was wrong with Nintendo employees' fingers in the late 80s? Top right makes way more sense, thumbs rest exactly in that position, except that I would swap A for B and X for Y. "A" makes more sense right where the fingertip rests.
>>12063129Who cares really?
>>12063129Uhhh OP the buttons are more or less in the same positions in all of these, you're being rused by the paint job
>>12063129>A for B and X for YIf you paid some attention you'd notice that the way Nintendo laid out their buttons on the NES is by having A to the right of B, closer to the hand. That is also why X and Y are in that order. There's possibly an element of brand identity since Sega sorted them from left to right.You might also notice that you aren't supposed to be putting your finger over both buttons on an NES controller, that is something that only gained traction with diamond layouts, see how awkward laying your thumb across rows is on 6 button Sega controllers.
>LeftHow to play a platformer if B is Run and A is Jump>RightY is Run and B is Jump. Holy fucking shit wtf are you doing how can anyone play like this

>>12063129Why do infantile zoomer retards hyperventilate over irrelevant garbage like this?
>>12063129My assessment of this post:Chance that it is sincere: 70%Extent to which it makes sense: 20%
>>12063129This user started gaming after 2004This brain dead take is only from people who never played an NES, Master system, gameboy, gba, etcAll controllers they ever grew up using had 4 buttons and their platformers used the super Mario world control scheme. If they didn’t, they SUCKEDDDDDD as per this threadYou guys never learned how to roll your thumb to press two side by side buttons at once. You all make the same fucking argument “how the hell am I supposed to run and jump??? and then post something like picrel.Your tiny raisin brains can’t comprehend the concept of rolling your thumb left to right.
>>12063305>This user started gaming after 2004I'm a late millennial and my first system was a Game Boy Color in 2000 with V-Rally and Pokémon Silver. Previously to that I enjoyed games such as Doom, Secret of Monkey Island, Outrun, Prince of Persia and many other DOS games on my Windows 95 computer, with M+K.The position of A and B also sucks on the Game Boy Color.>reddit spacing
>>12063173Right is correct
>>12063321Reddit spacing is when you don’t double return Like thisAnd thisNot this So actually… the real Reddit is (you)…The entire thing is owing to how on reddit it blanks a line when you hit return for you. (It did I don’t know if it still does) so when people used to that post elsewhere they don’t remember to do it manually. I don’t know why or how people started getting them backwards.
>>12063373You seem to know Reddit rather well, anon.
>>12063321Also yeah my point still stands, it doesn’t sound like you ever learned how to properly use a sideways B+A with the games you played.
>>12063374You seem to not know 4chan lingo, poser Then again is knowing it something to be proud of? Probably not
>>12063183Aesthetics weren't exactly on their mind when designing a controller.
>>12063305>All controllers they ever grew up using had 4 buttons and their platformers used the super Mario world control schemeBecause it's good and better than the alternative for most cases. SMW was the launch game of SNES and its developers earlier than anyone else realized the setup just works.
>>12063129Having diagonally up and to the right groupings on the y,x and b,a pairs looks nicer, we even if in game play the groupings are typically y,b and x,a.
>>12063129>SFXI wonder if that's why Sony called it the PSX
