This rumor has now been proven false:

The Rumor About Nintendo Management Wanting to get rid of Iwata is 100% False

There was a story that went up yesterday that said Nintendo management wanted to get rid of the firm’s president and CEO Satoru Iwata. An “inside source” cited “inner turmoil” caused by Nintendo not wanting to go mobile as the reason. They also said that Iwata doesn’t listen to them and their ideas. However, PE user Gryphonofmight has revealed that not only is that story 100% wrong, the source of the rumor saying Nintendo managers wanting to get Iwata fired came from NEOGAF. This 100%, without a shadow of a doubt, debunks that rumor. And from now on, I will never post stuff like that again. You can see here for yourself.

First, check the source of the article, it leaks back to a gaf post in the Nintendo Financials thread. One of the best examples of a GAF–>Internet–>GAF posts we’ll see.

Comments? First time I have heard of Yamauchi’s first son, anyone knows what he has been doing that makes him Nintendo president candidate?

Nothing, Katsuhito Yamauchi is a producer for the Pokemon movies. He has little to no business experience. He’ll be a figurehead at best for the Nintendo management to manipulate.

LOL, that doesn't make any sense, there wasn't even a NEOGaf thread about this until after the Business website posted their article. 

The source is a Japanese business site. How credit they are, I don't know. But the source is not Neogaf. There's just no point in linking to a Japanese article that no one can read so they linked to a person on NeoGaf translating the source article.
