EDIT: Well it turns out New Scientist was wrong, and Tetris 64 was not developed by Nintendo. The story, and the whole point of this topic, is therefore groundless and I apologize for failing to research this before I stated what I did.

New Scientist (UK), 18 August 2007

Canadian game developer "Frozen North Productions" has created a Teris variant called BioBlox. Players place their hand on a sensor that measures their pulse rate. The speed of the game increases if their pulse rate goes up, and vice versa. This provides an incentive for players to remain calm.

Quote:

"...In 1999, Nintendo released Tetris 64, which also used pulse rate to control the speed of play, but it only ran on Nintendo's console. BioBlox runs on Windows-based PCs and will be available online soon."
