Iwata Returns To Work After Surgery

Having recently undergone Bile Duct surgery, Nintendo CEO and media personality Satoru Iwata is apparently well enough to return to work. Even if you aren’t a Nintendo fan, you have to admire the guy, since the surgery was done to remove a tumor—no small matter. The surgery, which took place this past June, was responsible for his absence at E3, and fans were understandably concerned for his well-being. Thankfully, he seems finally to be out of the woods.

Iwata returns to a Nintendo that is having some impressive success with the rebounding Wii-U; the new console has seen an additional 610,000 units sold this past 2nd quarter alone.
