Dear Marcus

[IRC]

When I play a game on the X-box the X button is on the left, and when I play the same game on a Playstation the X button is on the bottom, but on my old Super Nintendo it's on the top.

Help.

Re: Dear Marcus

And don't forget on the gamecube it's on the right.

And how in the hell am I supposed to play games on virtual console? Where in the hell are my damn C-Buttons?

MAAAARCUUUUSSS

Re: Dear Marcus

How come in Japan X is the "cancel" button but in American it's the "ok" button.

That's got to be a metaphor for something!

Re: Dear Marcus

It makes sense that X would mean no, while circle would be close to OK. The only other thing I can think of is the "batsu" or crossed arms gesture, which means "no."

Re: Dear Marcus

But since that does makes sense ,why do us gaijin get the opposite in most games?

Re: Dear Marcus

Because X marks the spot? Or X is sometimes used in place of a check mark to indicate a positive response?

Re: Dear Marcus

Also it's right where we're used to pressing.

Re: Dear Marcus

Unless we grew up with Nintendo controllers; then it's ass-backwards.

Re: Dear Marcus

'X' easy to push.
Circle farther from your thumb.
Japan ass backwards.

Re: Dear Marcus

So why don't they make the easy to press button the circle button?

And is the OnLive controller really going to have L I V E on the buttons? I find that harder to believe than the magical lag free streaming tech.
