Earlier, I had posted about Shia Labeouf bashing the Wii,  now, there’s another Transformers star who has mentioned the Nintendo Wii in an interview. If the picture or post title didn’t give away who it is, let’s say the person sounds much more adept and intelligent towards gaming, and is someone who’s picture I enjoyed putting on the site. Of course, I enjoy the picture more for the car as I’m a huge Camaro fan. In fact, the new Camaro in the movie is downright sweet!

Anyway, the star is Megan Fox. Megan was interviewed by WhatTheyPlay, and after reading the interview I hold a new found respect for the actress.

She was first asked what games she played while growing up,

Megan Fox: My first gaming console was the Super Nintendo when I was about nine, and my first game was Aladdin. I remember playing that as a wee child. I’ve always really loved video games. Some of them, unfortunately, I’m not very good at playing, but some of them I’m kind of a badass at.

Aladdin. On the Super Nintendo. I remember playing that game non-stop while being bed-ridden in a hospital when I was 12 years old. My goal was to beat the game before I was discharged, which I did.

Moving on…

What are your thoughts on all of the video games for girls they’re releasing these days?

Megan Fox: Like what?

Like Wii Fit.

Megan Fox: Why is Wii Fit for girls?

Because it’s all about Yoga and stuff.

Megan Fox: And yoga is about girls? I know who would disagree with that statement. Sting. Sting would tell you that’s not true. That’s why his ass looks the way it does. He’s done years of yoga.

I think she does make a valid point here…

Megan Fox: I think it’s all relative. What is a girl video game and what is not is relative to the type of girl that you are. I think the reason more girls are into gaming is because parents are buying girls more game consoles. And giving them the access to video games. Maybe a few years ago it wasn’t that way.

She goes on in the interview to talk about how the Wii is making games active, and that it’s a good direction to take.  Also, her statement about ‘girl video games’ speaks volumes.

While we’re on the subject of  ‘girls’ and video games, here’s a video about video games and the female audience that you might find interesting…
