Is even possible to cure color blindness though? Isn't it just something you're born with, and controlled by genetics?
That sucks about Bust-A-Move Wii for you, sorry. Do you have the same problem with the DS version?
I've never played the DS version; I hope not.
No, I am pretty certain there is no known possible cure for color-blindness. But certain genetic disorders can be cured, and they know what causes color-blindness, so I imagine a cure could be created.
What colours do you have trouble with?
Wouldn.t bubbles of the same type still be the same shade of whatever colour when seen in your eyes so that the game could still be played?
I have trouble with certain shades of a whole lot of colors.
Examples:
Purple/Dark Blue
Dark Blue/Black
Orange/Red
Orange/Yellow
Green/Red
Green/Blue
Yes, two bubbles of the same shade will be the same shade to me (obviously; the may each look different but they'll match.) But two colors used were so similar to me that I couldn't tell them apart, so although I will always see them as a matching, I may see one as matching with the other even though it doesn't. Imagine if they made bust-a-move with a shade of dark orange and red that were highly similar, used two seperate colors, and you had to squint and think to make sure whether it was one or the other. They never would, as it would make the game unplayable, but for color-blind people a higher number of colors are similar, and we see similarities where others don't because we see colors differently, so incidents like the above happen.
I think that answer was almost as long as my post...
Yeah I see where you're coming from, but then it's Taito who are the "fascists" and not Nintendo?
Have you played any of the old ones like Bust-A-Move 64 etc?
i am colour blind too, i know your pain, when you tell people you're colour blind do they always pick up the nearest thing and ask what colour it is to 'prove' it? not especially helpful when it's a coke can cos i know what colour that is... i've never platyed busta move for the same reason.
I lost so many 50p's in the arcade on Puzzle Bobble. The yellow and light green look the exact same!
Glimbrick, I outright refuse to play the "what colour's this?" game now, it gets really old really quickly. My favourite question, though, has to be "so you can't tell the difference between a red light and a green light?"
It's just not a big enough issue for any massive charities to start up around. I almost never have a problem personally; I was halfway through the post before I thought hey, I'm colourblind too! It's something to do with having either deficient or insufficient cones in your eye. Until they develop retinal transplants we're just going to have to persevere, brothers.
Rawful@glimbrick.
Asking a color-blind person what color a Coke can or grass or a lot of the stupid things they ask us about would be like expecting someone who has never been to France to not know its capital.
It's amazing how people who aren't color-blind never realize we have other ways of figuring things out (like the size/position of the lights; although I can tell the difference between those three shades anyway.) It's as if aliens with eyes on the back of their head came down to Earth and were surprised we can figure out what's behind us, 'cause they'd never conceived of "turning around."
No I haven't played any of the older ones. Just PS2, Wii, and Arcade.
I don't think either of them are fascists; obviously that's a joke. But yes, I guess it is that company's fault, not N's.
SORRY N-GOD I LOVE YOU PLEASE FORGIVE ME.
