Iwata Now Back in Action at Nintendo

Nintendo have confirmed that CEO Satoru Iwata is now back in action since undergoing surgery back in June.

Iwata had a tumour in his bile duct, which required an operation and time away from the office. Understandably, recovery required the Nintendo president to reduce his output, but there was no "interference with his business as president," the company confirmed back at the end of July.

Today Iwata confirmed that he is now able to resume his regular work duties.

Earlier today, Nintendo confirmed first-half profits of $132 million, with a substantial decrease in operating loss, paving the road to recovery.
