Are you holding the controller wrong? I can't figure out why A is difficult to press. You don't have to use the tip of your thumb.

I typically hold it from the middle because Y and B are the primary buttons on the SNES controller and the controller rests more comfortably that way. For Ninja Gaiden, I maintained my initial stance during the first playthrough -- and awkwardly extended my thumb to the far right to tap the A button repeatedly. On the second play through, I acquiesced to holding the controller from the side. It's not comfortable though. It feels like I'm holding a brick from the side (except that it's virtually weightless).

Given the choice, I'd much rather change the controls than my preferred method of holding the controller. It's just more comfortable to rest the area where my thumb meets my palm on the bottom of the circle.
