Extra real pain in games that have been ported to Switch like Dark Souls Remastered.

Switch muscle memory says one thing, BUT they kept the controls layout EXACTLY from Xbox.

So "B" is actually "A"

the arkham games on switch play exactly the same but the menus have the flipped controls.

as someone who's 100% all of them its fucking infuriating.

On the Switch you can remap buttons in its system settings. It’s saved per controller, and can save a few presets.

I feel like I've come across this option on Steam, tried to reconfigure my controller, and given up after multiple futile attempts of being in the game with no changes to the controller.

it's terrible, and remapping the buttons is not good enough because then bottom button is roll and muscle memory fails.

Good thing is you can reverse the buttons in switch settings

I back stepped into a hole when trying to pull a lever when I had a shitload of souls because of this.

Nah Dark Souls Switch is just broken. B for OK and A to cancel is fuuuucked up. And re-encoding all the audio to low bitrate mp3 is the cherry on top.

There's a mod for hacked switches to restore the original audio, so it's not even like they couldn't just offer the higher quality audio as a DLC, but they don't want to do that.

I hated that on Nintendo DS for GTA Chinatown Wars because it kept the same from console

The amount of times I dropped off a ledge in Zelda and said exactly that "B is A, ahh"
