    In a recent post on Instagram, the singer shared a picture of her gaming with her kids. She declared video games are a stipple need in her life.

    They were such a part of my childhood,” the singer told 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 that nothing has helped her more than video games to take the anxiety a bit down.

    And there’s 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.”

    Nintendo is one of Aguilera’s favorite game stations. “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.

    When the singer was asked what virtual gaming character she wanted to be, she said that she would want to portray “fun, playful animated character” that doesn’t need to be reflective of her own personality. “That would be a dream.”

    Aguilera says that she bonded with her sister in her childhood over Nintendo.

    When the pair were growing up, Aguilera says, they would come home from school and feel compelled to practice and improve their strategies. “Because it’s 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.”

    We literally have couple’s game nights,” Aguilera says. “Life gets so serious sometimes and we don’t want to talk about ‘how’s school?’ and this and that; it’s 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.”

    During pandemic times Aguilera has played games with her children.

    She said, “Being hunkered down at home, being able to cozy up on a couch or your bed with your kids, it’s a time of intimacy and bonding that sometimes you wouldn’t otherwise get when you’re sitting at a dinner table all in separate seats.”

    The pop icon has said that her favorite Nintendo game is Mario Cart 8 Deluxe.
