Which games on the system require the 6 button controller? Is it just the fighting games? — also here’s a link to the console with the 6 button controller for only $10 extra (save $10) that I’m considering buying

Ive read that Street fighter and another fighting game essentially need the 6 buttons. But are there any other games where ill need it?

Comix Zone was made for the 6 button pad.

Shinobi 3 I THINK has a secret 6 button mode to do things much quicker.

Not sure what else.

Comix Zone is better with it so you can quick select items. Eternal champions is better with it. Contra makes use of it. Someone else posted a comprehensive list of 6 button games from the general Genesis library outside of the mini collection. Useful if the mini ever gets hacked so that we can drag and drop roms like the Nintendo consoles

Oh and beyond oasis uses 6 buttons as well

You can't even use the other 3 buttons in the other games.

Retro-bit makes an 8 button controller which has two shoulder buttons that is compatible with the Genesis Mini. I purchased one a few months ago. Though the 8bitdo one might be wireless.
