Yes No Unsure Do you find that video games relieve stress? - Results (63 votes) Yes 84.13% (53 votes) 53 No 11.11% (7 votes) 7 Unsure 4.76% (3 votes) 3 https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/digital/christina-aguilera-nintendo-mario-kart-1235135083/ The singers enthusiasm for games is nothing new. On her Instagram account, in between posts dedicated to new and old music, instruments, touring snaps and nostalgia, Aguilera includes a photograph of gaming hang-outs with her kids, Max and Summer; as well as solo tournaments of Animal Crossing: New Horizons. As it turns out, video games have been a staple in Aguileras life for years. They were such a part of my childhood, the songstress tells The Hollywood Reporter over Zoom, explaining that she began on the NES system, back when you only had pretty much two or three characters to choose from. Aguilera says she was always raised on Nintendo and that games are an activity she shares with her sister, Rachel. When the pair were growing up, Aguilera says, they would come home from school and feel compelled to practice and improve their strategies. Because its not just about gaming and it being just a fun game; you really get into the competitiveness of it, says the singer. It leads to so much laughter. Even to this day, Aguilera and her sister have so many inside personal jokes that they share in reference to certain games they played in their pre-teen years. And now as adults, they enjoy bringing their families into the mix. We literally have couples game nights, Aguilera says. Life gets so serious sometimes and we dont want to talk about hows school? and this and that; its important to get us out of our daily lives sometimes and have a moment of release and escape to do something so playful and fun, until we have to go back to our regular scheduled lives. Aguilera calls herself a homebody, noting that most of her life has been lived on the road, touring. And theres a lot of anxiety sometimes that comes with that and performance pressure, she says, adding that she takes games on the road with her as a form of decompression. While the Nintendo Switch is what Aguilera takes these days when shes out and about, her gaming setup used to be considerably more involved. Before, I used to be a lot, she says, laughing. I literally had a road case that was set up with a television inside of it that you could unlock in the concert venues or arenas, and [it] had a whole Nintendo setup in it, she recalls. Now that you have the Nintendo Switch that you can just pick right up and take on an airplane if you want to and play, or wherever your travels may take you, its such a great source of on-the-go fun, which my lifestyle calls for a lot. Aguilera says she tends to go for the cozy games that dont apply so much activity, but shes well aware that the joy-con wristbands can be used to dance or get exercise through boxing, tennis and other virtual sports. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/7/9/6/AAaB-xAADri8.jpg https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/7/9/7/AAaB-xAADri9.jpg https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/7/9/8/AAaB-xAADri-.jpg <cite>ZannoL posted [p:968080967] in Christina ...
