For en del år siden løftede rapper Kanye West (i dag "Ye") sløret for et spil, hvor man som spiller skulle guide hans mors ånd til himmerig.
"I'm working on on a video game and I wanted to show y'all. The idea of the game is my mom travelling through the gates of heaven," sagde han dengang.
Men inden at han gik efter selv at få spillet udviklet og lanceret, så prøvede han faktisk at få Nintendo til at stå for udviklingen. Tidligere IGN-skribent Zachary Ryan kan nu afsløre at han befandt sig ved Nintendos bod ved E3 i 2016, da Shigeru Miyamoto fortalte en bizar historie:
"He said that Kanye had shown up at the Nintendo booth unannounced and asked for an audience with Miyamoto specifically, right then and there. 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."
Ryan fortæller yderligere, at hvorimod Miyamoto var interesseret, så var det mere at selve oplevelsen var ret surrealistisk, snarere end at der var interesse i et reelt samarbejde.
