NOVEMBER 6, 2014 ALBA 5 COMMENTS

Satoru Iwata has issued another comment on his health condition. During the Japanese version of last night’s Nintendo Direct, the Nintendo president addressed concerns about his weight loss and expressed his appreciation for those who have shown an interest in his well-being. Earlier this year, Iwata was re-elected to serve as the head of Nintendo’s board of directors.

“I have seen many comments from people concerned about my weight loss,” Iwata said. “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.”
