Nintendo president and CEO Satoru Iwata was looking a little thin during yesterday's Direct broadcast, leading many to question the quality of his health following his surgery earlier this year.
In response to concern from fans, Iwata posted the following update on Twitter:
I have seen many comments from people concerned about my weight loss.
While it is true that I have lost weight due to a major surgery, my weight has thankfully been stable now for 2.5 months and I'm progressing well. I am really grateful for everyone supporting me, the doctors as well as the hospital-staff.
By all accounts, it sounds like Mr. Iwata is primed and ready to resume his role in the driver's seat at Nintendo and lead the company through a successful holiday season. With new initiatives like amiibo and a QOL platform on the not too distant horizon, I sure hope he's up to the task!
