If you want to go with something interesting, get a Famicom.
Apart from the disk drive, is there something special about a Famicom that I couldn't get from turning my Gyromite into a converter?

Expanded audio for games that support it unless you want to do some soldering on your NES. Famicoms are pretty cheap if you go with the original model. That and they look fantastic.
