Kanye West Invented A “Moving Nintendo Game” To Zelda And Mario Creator
Kanye West is definitely a singular individual. Kanye West was once well-known for his music but is now more famous for his controversial views and ideas.
While running for president and preening to decapitate Kim Kardashian’s new beau Pete Davidson in a music video, West also managed to pitch a “moving” video game idea to Nintendo legend Shigeru Miyamoto. I’m being dead serious.
Miyamoto is currently the head of Nintendo. He also created many of the company’s most popular franchises, including Mario and Zelda. Former journalist Zachary Ryan says that West approached Miyamoto during 2015’s E3 with a prototype game showing his mother, Donda West, flying to heaven. Miyamoto said that the demo was both interesting and moving, but that nothing came of it.
Ryan shared the following: “Here’s a story about one of my most memorable moments in games media.” “In the early 2016 I flew to NY for an interview with Miyamoto and as we were packing our gear, someone mentioned Kanye’s new record. Miyamoto shouted “Kanye!” and began to tell a story. His translator sprung into action.”
Ryan said, “He continued, “He stated that Kanye had shown him the prototype of a videogame. It featured Kanye’s mother, Kanye West, flying to heaven. The soundtrack was composed by Kanye. As he described the game, he was shaking his head. He didn’t think it was bad but more because he couldn’t believe Kanye West was trying to sell him a videogame.
He described the game incredulously and in great detail. […] He nodded his head and said, “It was very interesting.” You can make of this what you like.
