for sure!

Plus the 6-button controller was comfortable. Maybe sega thought they had to fill up all the space on their controller so they made 3 huge buttons.....then they were forced to downsize to some normal sized thumb squashers when they added 3 more buttons!

A lot of the later games supported it and had extra moves and stuff you could only do if you bought the six-button. Comix Zone and Streets of Rage 3 both had hidden moves like that.

Trying to play VC , homebrew any way,
I just tested out the VC f controller with my friend, it seemed really good and very SNESish
but no 6 buttons, four and there is more on the shoulders
I am wondering if I should get this or get a USB Saturn controller

every one says its the best plus I am drooling to have 1, it has 6 buttons and works on PC but will it work on Wii?

I personally love the giant 3 buttons. Your whole thumb has a place to rest.
