Can someone explain to me in simplistic terms what happened to the rest of the cash?

Nintendo invested at lot of money in unkown projects and bought back it owns shares ($1.1B) from the family of Nintendos old CEO Yamauchi after he died.

Is the company healthy or in a good position? Nothing dire or anything like that

In fact, amount of 'cash' on company's account shows nothing and you can't make any deep conclusions from it. Assets/liabilities are much better showing where the company is.
