Ok, so some NES games couldnt handle having only 2 buttons as a option. What I mean is that some games may require you to use the select or start button in order to perform a move or action.

So lets come up with all the games that require more than 2 buttons.

Off the top of my head I can think of 1 NES game

Mike Tyson's Punch Out required you to use the select button to throw a Haymaker. This makes it a official 3 button game on the NES.

What else is out there? And what are their actions?

I'm not sure if this counts, but Mega Man 3 and after required you to hold the down directional pad to slide. The only reason I suggested this was because in MMX for the SNES you could dash (X's equivalent to the slide) just by pressing the A button.

As far as I recall, most of the NES games had more than one button... Most games it was B+Up, or select then new B action. Some NES games utilized start, select, B, A, B+Up, and A+Up. That's essentially six buttons total on a "2 button" controller... I think there was a reason the SNES had six action buttons in addition to start/select.

Combinations of directions and the 2 buttons dont count, what im looking for here is when you either hit select or start there is a action being performed such as mike tysons punch out, making it a official 3 button game.

Combinations are still being performed with the A and B button, understand what i mean? That still make it a game using 2 buttons.

Also, i prefer nobody mentions games that bring up a map or sub menu.

Im specifically interested in knowing about games that use either the select button or start button to perform a action, such as throwing a bomb, or different move or whatever like that.
