How Many Player Buttons... 3 or 4?

(1/8) > >>

Woodshop Flunky:
The control panel on my upcoming build is going to be 17" across.  To keep clutter down, I was going to have only 3 player buttons.  I have no intention of playing fighters (and if I change my mine I can build a frankenpanel on my next cab :))

I could probably squeeze another button on the end, but I wanted you guys to chime in on the added value.

What really awesome games out there require 4 buttons that you guys would not want to live without?  Does Metal Slug actually require 4 buttons.

You can see from my pic that space is pretty tight on my small CP.

Thanks!

VanillaGorilla:
metal slug = 3 buttons

Do you play Defender/Stargate?

DaveMMR:
Do a search on MAWS.   Click "ADVANCED SEARCH" and find "buttons", choose 4.   Review the list and see if there are any you really, really want to play.  

If you're not playing fighters though, you're probably fine with 3.

(And off the top of my head, I enjoy NARC which is four buttons.  But Metal Slug only uses three.)

EDIT: Oh yeah, and Defender as Vanilla pointed out...

Woodshop Flunky:
I really like Stargate and Defender when I was a kid.  I must not have gotten any good at it, because the only button I remembered was "Fire" :)  Found a CP that shows six buttons!

Asteroids, Asteroids Deluxe, Gravitar, Space Duel, Star Castle and the like.
