Following a brief spell in hospital, Kanye West recently debuted his new hair colour at an LA art installation sending the blogosphere into overdrive once more.

However, what’s perhaps more interesting than Mr West’s blonde hair is a new apparent “tracklisting” seemingly for upcoming album Turbo Grafx 16.

As noted by gaming website Polygon, My Beautiful Dark Twisted collaborator Pete Rock posted a video to Instagram claiming he was back in the studio with West.

One of the multiple videos Rock posted featured the aforementioned track list, featuring the titles Okami, Pikmin 2, Red Steel 2, Silent Hill, and Super Mario Galaxy Pt 1 and Pt 2.

It has been noted that each of these is a Nintendo Wii game, keeping in with the gaming theme of title Turbo Grafx 16.

Could these just be a list of West’s favourite video games? Perhaps he’s revising the console and has just named all the game’s he needs to pick up from CEX? With West remaining out of the spotlight for the meantime, we probably can’t expect an announcement for some time.

Meanwhile, West’s controversial “Famous” video has been remade, now featuring dozens of internet famous dogs.
