Hi all;

I love the cycling on Wii Fit Plus, but my wife and son both have a lot of trouble telling which flags they've already been to and which ones still remain. They both have red/green color blindness, and the gray of the marked flags is virtually identical in intensity to the red of the unmarked flags to them. I end up having to be nearby when they try it to let them know where there's a red flag still waiting. I'm wondering if anyone else has seen a problem with this.

If possible try to set the red channel of the TV to maximum or minimum (depend of the kind of your colour blindness). It should be helpful because then the "red" flags would be a little brighter or darker then the 30% gray flags.
Please response.

After I posted this, we figured this out as well when we brought the game to another TV at a friend's house. On their TV, my wife and son could distinguish between red and gray. So apparently, it's possible to adjust the TV to make everything work. However, now that we've done that, we get REALLY unusual colors on a number of other things -- tilt city now has cyan instead of green, and a greenish-yellow instead of yellow. Since we don't watch regular TV much at all, though, this works.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Maybe you can use a colour filter in front of the TV that you can take quick on and off.
It mustn't blue – red – green like on my fathers old TV (on the very right side of this picture). :roll:

As child I liked the funny ladys with there blue hair and green neck. :D
