In praise of Hudson Joycard Sansui SSS
So was able to pick two of these up in the span of a week for under $50 combined (one at a local shop for $30 after tax and one for $19.50 on ebay shipped) and I love the damn things!
They are not as small/cramped as the original NES controller (not that I have giant hands to begin with) super comfortable to play with. Built in turbo, plus the classic Famicom look.
Definitely my favorite NES controller and probably the only thing I'll use from here on out

Welcome to the party, sir! They're the best NES controllers you can get. I use mine exclusively. I'm on the very last level of Battletoads (it's been my #1 legendary difficult NES game to beat since forever), and I owe a lot of it to the smoothness of said controller.

got these
After going and looking at the famicom versions, I'm seriously thinking about getting a couple of those and then the famicom to NES adapter...

Exactly what I've got! Good stuff.
Have had it ever since, excellent controller.
Found one with my grandma back in the late 90s for a $1.

Out of sheer curiosity, is it the same design/color scheme as the one posted in this thread?

It is indeed my friend.
Did the SSS come with a NES connector, or a Famicom one?
I can't be the only one who had this controller as a kid right? It's absolutely one if not the best NES controller you can own (the stock NES controller and dogbone are also extremely good). The only problem is the turbo function tends to break (mine never worked actually).
I didn't even know they existed until 2015

Good stuff. I was under the impression that there were like, a dozen or so different color combos available and you just get what they picked out of the bin for you. Maybe the Japanese ones are multi-colored? I'd actually like to start collecting different versions of the SSS Sansui Joycard. Is that a thing yet here on NA?

Oh I bet someone has them all sealed and graded.
The SSS I'm thinking only comes in grey and gold. The regular joycard controllers were available in all the different colors.
This sounds correct.

Most likely.
