I grew up on N64, which had inverted axes. Nintendo continued that tradition for the longest time.

It extends beyond joystick inputs. I also can't deal with Apple's scrolling defaults. I have to invert every Apple trackpad and device.

Bingo! This mirrors my experience.

> It’s much more likely that you invert or don’t invert due to how your brain perceives objects in 3D space.

I've tried both. I can do both. But I prefer the style I grew up with.

Yep, Goldeneye.
