Too right.  I've got a 13-button pad and it works like a dream.  ^__^

But there's a point.  We have designing the game so it can be used by
either keyboard or joypad.  Should we look at designing with an SNES pad
in mind?  The combination of direciton pad, start, select, four main
buttons and two top buttons seems to be the minimum most users would have,
if they have a pad at all.  So if we design for that or higher, we should
be on pretty safe ground.
