hi,

are there any games other than the fighters that use six buttons?

im not a huge fan of mortal combat type games....will the four button/player suffice for me?

any thoughts would be great.

For the most part fighting games are the only games that use 6 buttons. If you had a favorite game that used 6 buttons I am sure that you would know it, but other than than 4 buttons should suffice for any classic or Neo Geo for that matter.

You might want to keep in mind games like Space Duel, which use TWO 2-button/3-button setups, like Asteroids.
