It’s not too shocking anymore when news comes out that a celebrity enjoys playing the Wii, considering that it is an easy-to-use system and there are a good amount of games that one can easily pick up and play. It is strange though that Beyonce recently said that she likes all Wii games. Does that include Ninjabread Man?

“I like all the Wii games. Love Guitar Hero. This reminds me a little bit of a portable Guitar Hero, which is great, because I don’t want to carry around a big guitar! Growing up, I liked Tetris. I even like BrickBreaker on the BlackBerry.”

Beyonce also recently finished an ad for Nintendo, in which she sits on a couch and plays a bit of Rhythm Heaven. Liv Tyler, America Ferrara, and Carrie Underwood have participated in similar commercials.
