WATCH: How Pop Star Beyonce Convinced Nintendo Fanatics to Go for This Classic!

While Nintendo has released an endless number of hits, there have been some offerings that are not extremely famous whatsoever. But to make them stand out, the developer has come up with some interesting experiments, to say the least. Like the one when pop star Beyonce became the face of a DSi exclusive, more than a decade ago!

Yes, this happened in the year 2009 when the global icon and musical sensation Beyonce promoted a Nintendo DSi title through a commercial. Not only did she feature in the ad, but one can say she enjoyed the game itself too!

When Beyonce played a Nintendo DSi game called Rhythm Heaven in a commercial

For those not aware of it at all, Rhythm Heaven required a touchscreen and horizontal positioning. Players were needed to use the stylus to tap, flick, and also drag across the screen. There were rhythm-based levels throughout the game that the players had to go through in order to succeed.

Although it was hardly a renowned title during the time of its launch, Beyonce contributed a lot to making it a fan favorite. It all happened with a commercial that she did for Rhythm Heaven in the year 2009. Not to mention that after the ad premiered and people saw it, the Nintendo DSi game went on to register some healthy sales.

As one can see, the video starts with Beyonce going into full gaming mode, holding the DSi in her hands with the stylus. She seems to be enjoying the title a lot as it’s quite evident from her expressions. She also keeps a proper amount of pressure on the touchscreen while making sure not to commit a secondary touch input.

All things considered, the Break My Soul hitmaker did end up making both the DSi as well as Rhythm Heaven extremely popular among the players. After all, who can ignore something which the pop star herself promotes and that, too, when it’s a Nintendo game?
