Whether he is a genius or outright crazy (perhaps a little bit of both?) is up to you to decide, but it turns out he actually considered adding 'video game maker' to his resume. This was revealed by the former Nintendo of America boss Reggie Fils-Aime in the podcast Talking Games With Reggie & Harold.
West had a meeting with Fils-Aime during an E3, and also brought his wife Kim Kardashian. He had an idea for a new game and specifically wanted to make this a reality with Nintendo. Fils-Aime said:
"Part of it was talking about what he was up to. He was experimenting with a piece of video game content; he wanted reactions to it. He comes out and says, 'I want to work with Nintendo.'
We had so many different projects at Nintendo going on, the possibility of doing something with Kanye just wasn't there, and so I had to find a way to politely decline this opportunity to work with him. I told him, 'Kanye, you don't want to work with us because we're tough, we're hard. All we do is push for the very best content. We would not be the type of partner you would want to work with.' And he looks at me and says, 'Reggie, you're exactly the type of partner I want because of that reason!' It's like, 'Oh my gosh.'"
If West has tried his luck again with Nintendo since Fils-Aime left Nintendo of America early last year is unknown - but we wouldn't bet on it.
