Despite health concerns, it seems that Iwata will remain president.

Also, Mario Kart has sold 2 million copies. That's 1 Mario Kart 8 to every 3 Wii Us.

Yay. Did people actually not like Iwata or something?

Well, there are some people that blame Iwata for Nintendo's bad trouble with selling the Wii U.

Well, Iwata is already set out to become Nintendo's version of FDR-become president and remain president until you die-literally.

Uh, not really. Going by dates on Wikipedia, Iwata's been president for twelve years, the shortest time compared to the terms of the other three presidents.
