Mega Drive games that require 6 button controllers

[Dr_Slump]

Are there any games that require (or are unplayable without) the 6 button controllers?

[mooseblaster]

I don't think so, although there are quite a few '6-button recommended' games like Comix Zone.

[Jamtex]

The Street Fighter 2 games aren't much fun without one.

[Shadowlayer]

I think X-perts needed the 6button pad becos of all the commands you had.

What, you weren't a fan of pressing start everytime to switch between punch and a kick? :lol:

Street Fighter is unplayable withouth a 6 button pad.

[Barc0de]

so is MK2, for which the controller was released for I think , although u could combine buttons (which was lame)

[andoba]

Although, Samurai Spirits is quite playable with a 3 button pad.

[ninjashoes]

eternal champions is impossible without the 6 button

Mortal Kombat II was fully playable on the 3-button controller and works pretty well actually. Atleast tons better than SF2.

[PrOfUnD Darkness]

The 6-button controller was released for Street Fighter II.

[Codeman]

there are lots of games who use it, mostly fighting games

A more intriguing question would be which games actually use the "MODE" button?

[Barc0de]

yea, what's up with MODE anyway?:P

[Calpis]

MODE toggles the controller back into 3 button mode.

[Barc0de]

why would they want to do that though ?O_o so to force combined-key controls?

[MottZilla]

It was probably for backwards compatibility's sake. Incase there was a game made later that for some reason didn't behave properly in 6-button mode maybe. Back in the day I thought it was like a Select button. But you actually hold it down when you turn on the system to force 3 button mode.

One of that games is Golden Axe 2, it goes crazy with the 6 buttons enabled.

And if you have a 32x you want a 6 button controller. Not imprescindible but very very useful.

Yes, Golden Axe 2 is one of the games that doesn't like the 6 button pad as is Alien 3. I'm pretty sure that there are more games as well. There's probably a list on the net if you look hard enough.
