Think Services announced today that Nintendo president and CEO Satoru Iwata is poised to deliver a keynote address at the 2009 Game Developers Conference, marking his first return to the GDC keynote stage since 2006.

The Game Developers Conference is thrilled to welcome Satoru Iwata back to the keynote stage,” said Meggan Scavio, Event Director of the GDC. “His previous talks at the GDC can be credited with setting the stage for much of the huge growth the games industry has since seen, and attendees continue to talk about how both lectures impacted their perspective on development. We are confident that Iwata’s keynote this year will be added to the list of memorable GDC talks. Attendees are eager to know how he will inspire them this year.”

Even if you’re not a developer, this speech should be interesting. Who wants to bet Wii MotionPlus will be one of the topics of discussion?
