<p>Before anyone gets too concerned, we’re happy to confirm that the X button found on your Nintendo Switch Joy-Con or Pro Controller is, and always will be, called ‘X’. <em>Because of course it is</em>.</p>
<p>As you may well be aware, the PlayStation corner of the internet has been in <a class="external" href="https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2019/09/the_internet_is_cross_with_playstations_name_for_the_x_button">absolute meltdown</a> over the last few days after PlayStation UK revealed that the DualShock controller’s ‘X’ button is actually referred to as ‘Cross’. We’re sure you’ll agree that this simply <em>cannot</em> be correct; indeed, our chums over at Push Square found that <a class="external" href="http://www.pushsquare.com/news/2019/09/poll_sony_says_the_x_button_is_pronounced_cross_but_what_do_you_call_it">roughly nine out of ten players call it ‘X’</a>.</p>
<p>Here’s the now-infamous reveal itself:</p>

<p>If Cross is called X (it’s not), then what are you calling Circle?? <a href="https://t.co/dvQ19duemW">https://t.co/dvQ19duemW</a></p>

<p>Concerned for the Nintendo community and gaming fans at large, we decided to get everyone in the office to stop what they were doing, find a computer, and search for any evidence of Nintendo pronouncing the names of its controller face buttons. It was a surprisingly difficult task, but we’re happy to confirm that it is indeed called ‘X’, as proven by Nintendo’s very own JC Rodriguez.</p>
<p>You’ll hear it at the 8:15 mark below.</p>
