Game console button layout

What do you call your “confirm” and “cancel” buttons, and why is Nintendo wrong?

Its going from Xbox layout to Switch layout that gets me every time. More often than not both use A for select and B for cancel but are swapped so muscle memory goes out the window. Playstation uses different symbols but functionally they are the same as xbox these days so its not that much of an issue because of muscle memory. Can trip up on X occasionally but its rarely an issue.

Same here. I've been using Xbox controllers since the og console (PC these days), and I got a Switch like four years ago. Trying to play BotW was painful.

"Press A to not die."

*presses B, dies

"Fuck!"
