I'm not even sure if they sold a 4-player splitter for the SNES (it seems like they did, although I could be mistaken). If you had a 6-button fighter setup for players 1 and 2, then you would only need 3 or 4 buttons for players 3 and 4.

I like playing 4 player games of SNES Super Bomberman 1 + 2 on my cab.  It uses just a few buttons so you are right that you probably only need 4 buttons for p3 + p4 even for SNES.  Almost all of the other 4 player SNES games are sports games.  In fact, sports games, like EA's Madden, are about the only 4 player games that I can think of where 6 buttons may be needed.

besides bomberman, secret of mana was a great multiplayer.  cant remember how many buttons it needs though.  i think some of those buttons were used to control or switch between idle characters..

this same question has been bugging me for some time now.  i was planning on adding a keyboard hack to a minipac in order to get enough inputs for 4 players plus 6-8 play buttons each.  i know dc/psx/snes have a lot of buttons but can people think of good non-sports games that used that many buttons?

heres a list of multitap playstation games..  didnt really find anything that caught my eye..  maybe gekido and twisted metal 3

dreamcast (maybe i need to go steal my brother's.. anyone know how many buttons it needs?):
power stone 2
gauntlet legends
giga wing 2
chu chu rocket
clanggedin:
Toy Commander
Unreal Tournament

Those are the 2 that we really play multiplayer in.

I have a bunch of multiplayer non-sports titles, but I can't remember anymore that what's already been posted.
