They may have met with Nintendo of America? Which would make this story plausible
- gamegoblin 6y agoNintendo of America is headquartered in the same city as Microsoft (Redmond WA), so this is definitely plausible.
- theandrewbailey 6y agoI was going to say Nintendo is across/down the road from Microsoft, but checking again, Microsoft surrounds them: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Nintendo+of+USA/@47.6510523,-122.1435848,16z/data=!4m8!1m2!3m1!2sNintendo+of+USA!3m4!1s0x54906d69e6f323ad:0x1bc8d9a86386ffbc!8m2!3d47.6510519!4d-122.1392074 https://www.google.com/maps/place/Nintendo+of+USA/@47.651052...

- justinlloyd 6y agoHistorical perspective: At that time, Microsoft did not surround them, as far as I recall. Nintendo was a separate and distinct office complex.

Kanye visited the Nintendo Booth during that E3 and was even able to spend a bit of time with Shigeru Miyamoto. He then requested a meeting with Reggie, and the two ended up meeting up at one of Kanye's offices in Calabasas, California. 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.’
