Has undergone surgery to remove a growth in a bile duct.
Iwata issued an open letter addressing his health issues.
"Thank you very much for your continued extraordinary support," he wrote.
"Recently, as the result of one of my routine physical examinations, an issue was detected. Following a more detailed examination, a growth was found in my bile duct.

In my case, luckily, it was detected very early and I had no symptoms.
"I was counselled that removal at an early stage would be the...

German magazine GameStar had stated that the vultures are already circling over the firm.

The VideoGamer gang take a look back at the Microsoft E3 showcase, with thoughts on Sunset Overdrive, Fable Legends, Forza Horizon 2 and Ori And The Blind Forest.
We got up close and personal with the latest Mortal Kombat… and it's utterly ridiculous.
Sub-Zero then nipped up to his feet and punched Scorpion in the face.
It was utterly stupid.
It's also the reason Mortal Kombat remains exceptionally entertaining. The latest entry is so violent, the needle almost comes full circle - that is to say, it's humorous rather than all-out barbaric. How NetherRealm made that possible given human beings are constantly plunging various spikes into organs I'll never know, but that's exactly what Ed Boon and co. have achieved.
Ultimately it's the list of new fighters that are important at this stage, a list that...

Includes improvements and optimisations made since the game was sent off to manufacturing.
The reason for the update is because Rebellion continued to work on the game in the weeks which followed a finished version of the game being sent off for manufacturing.
"The main part of the update is to sync data between the game's retail discs and the Xbox Live digital download edition of the game," the studio explained. "In the several weeks between sending the code off to manufacture and release, rather than sit around or take a break, we've continued to work on the game, making improvements and optimisations.
