Future Gamer's favourite handheld hits big stores on October 15

While indie retailers are concerned at the dearth of Dreamcast units coming their way, they have had a head start with SNK's NeoGeo Pocket Color. This Friday sees the little fellow hit HMV, Electronics Boutique and the rest - in fact, it's reckoned you'll be able to buy one from some 1,500 outlets.

We've been tinkering with the NeoGeo in the office for a couple of weeks now. Metal Slug is a fine little game, as is Puzzle Bobble Mini, Turf Masters (a great golf game) and Pocket Tennis. Oh, you can get the thing in loads of different colours - Platinum Blue is the best though. NeoGeo retails at £59.99.
