tripletopper Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Currently I have five 6 button pads, two 3 button pads. I know four Wheel of Fortune Sega CD, I need a third 3 button controller. Do any Sega Genesis game from any region require more than five 6 button pads, to the point that fights will not be started about who gets the 6 button vs. 3 button controller. Also for games that glitch out unless every controller is a three-button controller, is the maximum number of three-button controllers needed for Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy and that's it, or does any game need more than 3 three-button controllers? The only u.s. Genesis game I know that has 6 or more players is Double Dribble Playoff edition, which can seat 8. I need one more controller anyway if I want to have eight players because they use any 8 controllers. I know Double Dribble only requires a three-button controller and works with 6 button controllers with no advantage given to the 6 button controller. If I have a local couch party, I don't want people fighting over who gets the 6 button and who gets the 3 button. Also I have a Game Genie which is a universal Genesis adapter. So you could include Genesis games from anywhere in the world. For foreign regions, I only want games that are not highly reliant on Japanese or other foreign language text. By the way, my main language is English. also could I have briefed little descriptions and/or video clip of them where I could find these games so I can decide whether it's worth hunting on eBay for these games or not. The main reason is I'm trying to figure out whether to buy a 3 button (I need one for Wheel of Fortune CD anyway) and whether to add 1 to 3 six-buttons as well as more three buttons .

Yurkie Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Should buy 6 of these https://www.amazon.com/8Bitdo-Wireless-Gamepad-Original-Genesis-Drive/dp/B07HB1XFQW/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=m30+2.4ghz+genesis&qid=1594086582&sr=8-1 I am a fan of original hardware, however that said I FU*&ING love these controllers and don't use anything else. I wonder if they work with Wheel of Fortune, I have never played that game on the Genesis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripletopper Posted July 7, 2020 Author Share Posted July 7, 2020 I think you're missing the point of my question. It's not what controller brand 9f controller to get. It's about which type of controller between( three-button and six button ) i need and how many of those. I need one controller anyway and I already got 7 that can use any controllers namely Double Dribble. 8 is the absolute maximum. if there is a cooler game that uses a 6th or even 7th and 8th six button controller I could forgo the third Wheel of Fortune controller until I find a real good deal. I'm trying to base my priorities on what games I currently have and what games are currently out there that are worth getting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asaki Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 I think Bomberman supports 6+ players, but I can't imagine it requires more than 3 buttons. Actually, I guess that was just the prototype. The released game is only 1-4. There are a couple of lists out there, but none of them are 100% accurate. A lot of them list NBA Jam as 8-player (???), or they list Micro Machines as supporting the Team Player (it does not, I've tried every version). Anyway, according to those lists, Double Dribble is the only 8-player game. Every other game is 5 players or less (or you swap the controller around, like Worms). https://www.sega-16.com/forum/showthread.php?9857-TeamPlayer-games&p=214057&viewfull=1#post214057 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripletopper Posted July 22, 2020 Author Share Posted July 22, 2020 Is that a us only list, or a world list? And for foreign market games, any you recommend for six+:6-button controllers? Some that doesn't require foreign language literacy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asaki Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 I only see one J game on there, but I see quite a few E games. Like I said, the list is not 100% accurate. There's a slightly better list out there, I just can't remember where the heck I found it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripletopper Posted July 25, 2020 Author Share Posted July 25, 2020 I heard most of the Euro titles are Sports titles, which naturally have more players. One soccer Football game has only the 2 captains that need the x y z and r for dictating CPU teammate strategy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
