Nintendo’s Iwata To Miss Shareholder Meeting Following Surgery
Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has undergone surgery for a growth found in a bile duct. Because of his health concerns, Iwata will miss the annual shareholder meeting on June 27.
We first learned that Iwata was suffering from an ailment when Nintendo announced he would miss E3. Last week, he underwent surgery to treat the condition.
He is currently working out of the office, but will not be returning to his normal daily routine quite yet. Nintendo has not yet announced who will be leading the meeting.

Our Take
Our thoughts are with Mr. Iwata for a speedy recovery. We’ll have coverage of anything newsworthy from the shareholder meeting later this week.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
