Will I need more than 2 buttons?

<< < (2/3) > >>

AlanS17:
Well I'm interested in using this thing strictly for vertical games. If I ever decide I want to play horizontal games on it I'll add a third control panel to the long side. Then I can put however many buttons I want on it. I also won't be needing screen flipping for that third control panel so cocktail mode wouldn't particularly matter for horizontal games.

AlanS17:
The reason I'm even asking about 2 is because if I only need 2 buttons, I'd like to put 2 buttons on the left and right sides of a centered joystick. If I need 3 buttons I'll have to set them to the right of the joystick.

I'd like to be able to have left/right buttons, though. I don't want mine to look like everyone else's. But in order to do that, I'd be restricted to 2 buttons. I just want to know if I can get away with it without mising out on any required games.

SirPoonga:
well, most games that used 3 buttons put the buttons either in a row or in a triangular fashion.  So you can do your 2 button idea, leave room to add a third button above them for future if you find something...

Thenasty:
here is Vanguard control panel layout.

AlanS17:
I could fit 4 buttons just as easily as I could fit 2, and I could fit 3 buttons if I formed them into a triangle. I guess it just comes down to how many I think I would need. Maybe I need to play some Vanguard tonight.
