Did anyone actually play through the VC version of Last Ninja 3 ? I've finally completed Level#1, but as Level#2 loads or is about to be displayed a blue screen appears and stays forever... nothing but a blue screen with black borders. I can still access the C64 keyboard, but that's it. No Level#2. I've completed Level#1 several times and the same happens again and again.

Ah, sounds to me like you've accessed the C64 start up screen. I also managed this through Cybernoid. I reset and it didn't happen again. In fact I detest Cybernoid so much that I wish I had left it as it was so I could have experimented with programming for the first time in about 20 years

10 PRINT "Joxe is the best"
20 GOTO 10

Instant win!

Even though it blue-screened out on you I don't think you were in the C64's OS, feels more like corrupted data, a simple redownload should fix it.

Ok. Now I have erased the game and its save data, redownloaded the game and the same thing happens again. I have the latest Wii update. I don't have any issues with any other downloaded game (Mega Man 9, Last Ninja 1 + 2, Super Mario Bros: the lost levels, Ice Climber, Metroid)

I find it wierd that you should need to redownload a VC game. If the Wii can't verify the downloaded game against some checksum something's seriously wrong.

Oh, and once you reach the blue screen you have to reset the game to be able to try again. You can't do anything at the blue screen, whatever keys your press on the C64 keyboard the screen remains blue.

I downloaded it as well and am having the same issue. I'll shoot Commodore an email.

[Betagam7]

haha, I guess I'm the only one that got into the actual operating system then. Bah, I wish I'd kept it!
Looks like a bit of a stuff up by Commadore Gaming though. Make sure you complain to Nintendo too they'll probably refund your points

Fix is on the way:

Dear Mr. Van Duyn,

The programmers are aware of the bug and are working hard to fix this asap hopefully they will submit the new fixed version today so you should be able to redownload a new bugfree version soon

Kind regards,
