Will Nintendo Move On?
Nintendo has announced Sunday that president and CEO Satoru Iwata has died at age 55. The press release said the cause of death was a bile duct growth. Just last year Iwata took time off for similar health related issues missing the annual shareholders meeting.
In that time he underwent surgery and told shareholders that he came through it well. Satoru was extremely popular with his Nintendo fans due to his position in the company. He did a great job at making himself the public face of Nintendo by hosting regular fan focused company updates called Nintendo Directs.
He also never seemed to disappoint when making an appearance at large events. Iwata had been president since 2002 and he will surely be missed.
