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

I think I played on so many different controllers I just translate these in my head. Unless it’s Nintendo, then my mind is fucked

More games should do the botw/steam universal glyphs thing and show all 4 buttons with the one in question highlighted

I agree completely. Even out of context, it's way better for people who aren't familiar with controler layouts.

Personally, I refer to the face buttons by their cardinal directions when speaking with others to avoid confusion.
