The Avenue Pad 6 (アベニューパッド6) is an officially licensed six button controller for the PC Engine released in 1993 by NEC Avenue. It was designed specifically for Street Fighter II': Champion Edition, which was released a week later, although several other titles (mostly fighting games) also supported the controller.
The controller adds four additional buttons (Ⅲ, Ⅳ, Ⅴ and Ⅵ) in addition to the standard Ⅰ and Ⅱ buttons. The Ⅰ, Ⅱ and Ⅲ buttons are laid on the bottom row from right to left similar to the earlier Avenue Pad 3, whereas Ⅳ, Ⅴ and Ⅵ are laid out on the top row from left to right. The controller also has four switches: two turbo switches for buttons Ⅰ and Ⅱ, a slow motion switch, and a switch that toggles between two-button controls (A mode) and six-button controls (B mode).
Other six-button controllers for the PC Engine include the Fighting Commander PC by Hori, released a month later than the Avenue Pad 6, and the Arcade Pad 6 by NEC, which became the standard-issue controller for the PC Engine Duo-RX.
