Actually, Nintendo used similar technology back in Nintendo 64 days, but I think it was only for one game and only in Japan.

Bio Tetris - The normal tetris game using the bio sensor. The game is sped up or slowed down depending on the user's heart rate

The bio sensor is a Nintendo 64 accessory produced by SETA and only available in Japan. It was sold on its own or packaged with Tetris 64. The bio sensor looks like a Nintendo 64 controller pak with a wire coming out of it with a clip on the end. One end of the sensor plugs into the extension port on the Nintendo 64 controller, and the other end clips onto the player's ear. The device measures the user's heart rate.

I guess that vitality sensor will fit with any game, including tetris. Heh.

That is very interesting.

 

The DS actually had the Game & Watch games as a design predecessor in the 80s.

 

The WiiMote really had a similar design to the Power Glove,and it works lol

 

Now this Vitality Sensor has a small history as well.

 

When it comes to revisiting designs, Ninty is 2/3. Maybe with the VS they can seal the deal.
