Yeah, the controller needs them to function. I don't know the exact details, but I can infer that either a) the system would reset if they weren't there and/or b) the chip would be fried from having that much current go through it.

Yeah, they're either pull-up or pull-down resistors that reduce the current to the logic levels needed by the chip(s). You'd likely toast quite a few ICs if you forgot them.
Also, the exact value doesn't matter. It can be anywhere from 5Kohm to 20Kohm. Just don't omit it.
To clarify my question.....for say the controller? That's my main confusion, would I need a resistor from say 'up' to be a bridge between up and the button?
