Select Button

[Anonymous No.8088067]

whats the point of the select button? were there even playstation games that used it? seems like pretty dumb to have a "select" button when you can use the d-pad to select stuff anyway....

for selecting things. to have another button if necessary

yes. pic related.

it's out of the way, not like it's a button in the center of the 4 on the right, why does it trigger your autism so much?

it's just nice to have that extra auxiliary button there even if only 1 in 10 games or whatever actually use it

It's so you can quit out of any mode in Tekken 3 by holding Select then pressing Start.

in king's field games you can assign an item or cast on self spell to a quick use slot which was activated with the select button on demand without going into pause menu.

It's an exciting roulette button in demos.
Maybe it opens a menu, maybe it switches items, maybe it immediately ends the demo and starts a slow, unskippable presentation of still images promoting the game

As a little kid I remember being stuck in this game for like half an hour because I didn't realize select is how you whistle for your dog Max to come over to you.
