Android tablet manufacturer Wikipad is developing a snap-on controller peripheral for Android and Windows 8 tablet devices, VentureBeat reports (http://venturebeat.com/2014/01/03/wikipad-announces-universal-tablet-gaming-controller-for-android-and-windows-8/).

The Gamevice accessory, shown above, features two analog sticks, a d-pad, four face buttons, four shoulder buttons, and a pair of option buttons. The peripheral fits over a connected Android tablet, turning supported devices into gaming-capable controllers that roughly resemble the Wii U GamePad in form.

The Wikipad (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/wikipad/) gaming tablet launched last year (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/02/07/wikipad-resurrected-shrunk-down-to-7-inch-design/), offering a 7-inch touch display surrounded by a custom-built, detachable controller interface. A release date for the Gamevice has not been announced.
