Satoru Iwata appeared thinner in Nintendo Direct

Nintendo President Satoru Iwata has a message regarding his weight loss while appearing in today's Nintendo Direct broadcast. This is what he said via Twitter:

"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."

Good for him. I'm glad he is recovering well. Believe it or not I think that Nintendo is in a good situation with him. He has already shown more willingness to change with the times than he has in the last 5 years.

He lost some hair as well.. hope he recovers fast

Excellent... If he dies, we're screwed.

^^^ Don't start.

Best health to him.

If he lost hair, that's a sign he had chemotherapy, which means he might have cancer. That isn't good

Not sure what his situation is but I hope he heals and recovers soon from it.
