"Q: Yeah, there’s a lot of buttons on the Super Famicom controller, and it’s easy to get confused. I had that happen to me in F-Zero a few times.
Miyamoto: Compared to the Famicom, it’s definitely a lot. [laughs] With the Famicom, we were very lucky in that developers ended up finding uses for the start and select buttons beyond what we had originally envisioned. The Legend of Zelda was like that, in particular. But this time, the four buttons of the SFC have a very different meaning from the Famicom.
Horii: When I play the Super Famicom, it feels to me like the B button on the SFC is like the A button on the Famicom (for affirming things), and the Y button is like the old B button (for cancelling)."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2e7f2uvcguv4d5qxqnyjmk32/bafkreidctjo4uz5pryjludtvyl7qst3tqgdudxmkuxfg4c5tjunzzn3u4m)
