Recently I wrote an article about meditation and games, suggesting that most existing attempts to relax through gameplay are broken. Among alternatives, I pointed to Guru Meditation, an Atari VCS game I had made to be used with the Amiga Joyboard. To play, the player sits still on the device.

Today, Kotaku posts a video of what appears to be one of the minigames from Wii Fit, which appears to boast exactly the same mechanic, as at least one Kotaku commenter noted. Of course, it's hard for me to claim originality here, since I borrowed the idea from the original Amiga engineers of the early 80s. Still, I'm a little bummed, as I'd hoped to port Guru Meditation to the Wii when the Wii Fit finally becomes available to devs.

The video, from a Japan ad for the game, is after the jump.
