Satoru Iwata won't be attending E3 due to Health Related reasons

[Xonax]

[quote]He's been instructed by his physician not to travel overseas in the immediate future, and so he will not be making the trip to Los Angeles. Please understand that it is business as usual for Mr. Iwata, and he continues his normal duties as president of Nintendo Co., Ltd. while he remains in Japan. As always, he will be actively involved in all of Nintendo's activities at the show.[/quote]

I wonder who will host, Reggie or Miyamoto.
Also Wii U sales go up 666% and Iwata is sick a week later? Coincidence I think not.

[sir whoopsalot]

Please let Reggie host it, I fucking love watching him do that.

[Primeduck]

Probably already recored the Nintendo Direct.

[Fangz]

I wonder if it is stress related.

Why is it I can see that being on his epitaph?

"Here lies Satoru Iwata: He only wanted people to understand."

I'm sure it's nothing too serious.

There seems to be a theme here. I've noticed that Reggie likes the word "candidly."

[Super Muffin]

With rumors Iwata is sick going around Nintendo's share price is going to go up in the next few days.

Nintendo's investors absolutely [I]hate [/I]Iwata.

[Miya]

Luigi's first victim

whos next

[RaccoonBro]

I wouldn't blame him.

The amount of stories where people get horribly sick during/after E3 is staggering.

stay safe Iwata :(

I'm a bit sad on the other end because now he, Miyamoto, and Reggie won't be able to make another trinity pic in front of that one sign this year. Oh well.

Tell ya the truth, I kinda want Nintendo to buy all their stock back and go private. You know how much raw cash they have in reserve?

He went around Japan buying every single Wii U by foot, so as to not raise suspicion
