'The Life of Pablo' had just dropped and our Nintendo rep knew i was a music nerd and asked if I was listening to it. "Kanye!" Miyamoto exclaimed and started emphatically telling a story. his translator sprung into action. Miyamoto was telling a story about the previous E3.

he said that Kanye had shown up at the Nintendo booth unannounced and asked for an audience with Miyamoto specifically, right then and there. thinking back to E3 2015, i remembered people saying that they'd seen Kanye on the show floor, so i guess it sorta made sense?

He went on to say that Kanye showed him the prototype for a video game. in it, you played as Kanye's late mother flying to heaven, set to a soundtrack conducted by Kanye himself. he was shaking his head as he described it, not like he thought it was a bad game

but more so in the way that he just sorta couldn't believe that Kanye West was pitching him a video game. he described, incredulously and in great detail what the game looked like and how it played. I was laughing because i sorta of couldn't believe it either.

at the end of the story, he nodded and said "it was very interesting." there was a long pause and he added "it was very moving." then he laughed REALLY hard and said "Kanye West wanted to make a game with Nintendo" and then, in English, "Wow!" and gave me two thumbs up.

i fucking lost it. i laughed so hard. what an absurd turn of events. not only that it happened but that the story was relayed to me in this VERY SPECIFIC way. Kanye announced "Only One" like two weeks later.

When I was working at a GameStop in Hawaii Kanye came in and bought a DS lite and asked for every Nintendo made game for it, not all the ds games, he wanted just first party stuff.
