The AVS looks like a good option, I know a lot of members here have them and have enjoyed the quality.

The AVS, NT Mini and MISTer are the best options out there currently.

This, exactly this. I have the AVS and it's excellent. Hyperkin makes a cheap one, but they just take the composite and run it through an awful internal HDMI converter.

Doesn't the AVS have a built in Game Genie?

I have the original Analogue Nt, it's really just an expensive NES with a new PCB and HiDefNES installed, works great but I rarely use it.
You could get an original Famicom/NES with HiDefNES installed or have someone install it for you.
Personally I'd rather go for RGB mods on my consoles, and use OSSC/Framemeister for the upscaling.
There's several cheaper options available as well, like Retron 5, Super Retro Trio, RetroFreak etc.
I think they all play Famicom games and have HDMI output, but probably just upscaled from analog?

It does, it also auto detects your cart and gives you a list of cheats to enable.
The AVS is seriously amazing.

I don't know about the Trio, but the Retron 5 and Retrofreak both use emulators. I have a Retrofreak and it works pretty well, but I'd take the AVS, NT, or a RGB real system with an OSSC over it anyday.
