Nolan K. Bushnell, the founder of Atari and the godfather of the games business has told The New York Times that he’s actually baffled by Wii U. Bushnell went on to say that he doubts Nintendo will ever be a major import ever again, and that it feels like the end of an era for the company.

An article recently posted in the New York Times suggest that Wii owners could be damaging themselves by lazily swinging the remote, rather than doing complete full gestures.
