After reading all these kids comment i have to say that i am 41 years old and when i was a kid all arcade cabinets had the joystick on the right side and it was like 100 times easier for all my friends like that. Later when they switched it we used to play with our hand crossed but i guess the kids that never saw it on the right side just got used to the left. i never did and because i used to work in one of those places the reason for the switch is exactly for that, to make it more difficult for the players to be good.
