I expect this from american bloggers but not from you…how is this a wii u gamepad look alike?
Just added an image off the Wii U gamepad for comparison. I think they look pretty similar.
JXD stated that this will be out in the middle of January 2013, but here in the USA/Europe we have the Archos Gamepad. Whichever comes out first I’ll grab it, the Archos Gamepad has the ps vita feel. I just hope this one isn’t too big. It’ll come in 2 different models. The “JXD s7300A” and a more powerful “JXD S7300B”
