Satoru Iwata shares a message about his health

Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has had a rough past few months. We found out that he was suffering from a bile duct growth back in June, which was thankfully taken care of.

Iwata’s surgery resulted in heavy weight less that may have been apparent to some after watching today’s Nintendo Direct. As such, he decided to share a personal message on Nintendo’s Japanese Twitter account.

Iwata wrote:

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 stabilized now after 2.5 months and I’m progressing well. I am really grateful for everyone supporting me, the doctors as well as the hospital-staff.
