None of those games caused Sega and NEC to make 6-button controllers for their consoles. Contra III and Super Metroid weren't even released outside the Super NES, while Smash TV, Bart's Nightmare and Eye of the Beholder on Genesis all got different control schemes to compensate for the fewer action buttons.

It was with the 1993 console ports of Champion Edition on PC Engine and Genesis that we got the Avenue Pad 6 and Fighting Pad 6B respectively for those platforms. I doubt Sega and NEC would've been pressured to add more buttons to their controllers if Street Fighter wasn't the big phenomenon it was.
