Update: Bumped to the top. Here are a couple of English tweets from Nintendo’s Twitter account:

Nintendo president Satoru Iwata didn’t attend E3 last year, and he’ll be skipping the expo once again this year. In 2014, his absence was related to health reasons. This year is a bit different.

Iwata explained on Nintendo’s Japanese Twitter account that the company won’t be announcing new hardware at E3. Additionally, he’ll be hosting an investors meeting the week after E3. It’s because of these two reasons that his presence wasn’t required.

Also, here’s an updated Mii straight from Iwata, following his health issues and weight loss:
