The long promised Nintendo Channel launched last night for Wii owners.

Supposedly, the channel lets you buy games directly, watch trailers of current and upcoming games and feed Nintendo information on the games that you are playing.

You’d think some other company than Nintendo would be the first to let consumers buy a new disc-based game via their console without taking their hands off a controller. Nope. It’s Nintendo.

The channel tracks and recommends games.

The Nintendo Channel adds features to the Wii. If you opt in, the channel will track the games you play, the time you play them and tabulate rankings you can manually apply to games in the channel’s menu — all supposedly to your shopping and gaming benefit.

This is the nonsense that Nintendo says in their official statement:

We would like to offer you the opportunity to receive game recommendations based on your actual game play.

To receive this service, you must agree to allow Nintendo to collect nonidentifiable info from your console, such as the games you play and the time you play them. Nintendo will hen use this information to recommend games to you and develop new games and services.

*Sent information may include the following:
-The information posted daily to the Wii Message Board regarding the number of times and duration software titles have been played.
-Information on your picture, Sensor Bar, Internet usage, etc., from the Wii System Settings.

To thank you for sharing your anonymous data with Nintendo, we would like to make available to you the DS Download Service. No information that personally identifies ou o your console will be shared with Nintendo by agreeing to share your game-play data.

Vegas. I’ve been there about 100 hundred times in this young life of mine. After a night of playing cards at the tables in the casino, I go to sleep - in a daze - and dream about cards all night long. (The same thing happens to me when I play more than 2 consecutive hours of Tetris, but that’s another story…)

The only game I’ve ever won money playing in Vegas is Black Jack and the reason being is that the player actually has the advantage (unless the casino is dangling scantily clad strippers and free drinks down your throat all night long, statistically the player has the advantage versus the house.)

That’s why I’ve been thinking - maybe I should sharpen my skills at this game at home on the computer before I head to Vegas next…. Maybe if I play sober at home and play sober in Vegas I’ll be able to make myself mucho dinero on the next Vegas visit (scheduled for sometime between now and the next time I make enough money to afford a room at the Wynn…)

So I’ve signed up for free blackjack at BlackjackClub (you can download the Casino software here) - I chose this site because the site supports all languages and has support in every language as well as new 3D games.

Can’t tell you if I am up or down or down and out, but I think you can get the drift from this blog posting that I’m on my way to Vegas next week and staying at the Wynn…. Booked myself a suite… Shhhh, don’t tell anyone.

Anyhow, all this talk about Blackjack has got me thinking about the best movies with Blackjack in them and here they are:

Top 5 BlackJack Movies of All-Time
1. “Rain Man” - Tom Cruise and his autistic brother played by Dustin Hoffman are down on their luck, but they use card-counting skills and end up in the whale’s suite at Caesar’s Palace after winning a boat-load of money.
2. “Casino” - Robert De Niro runs the show at this fictional Vegas casino and his achilles heel is his wife Sharon Stone who can’t seem to wash her hair of creep-o James Woods.
3. “Leaving Las Vegas” - Nic Cage is the worst kind of drunk and loser. He’s in Vegas and even hottie Elizabeth Shue can hardly save him from how badly he’s ruining his life.
4. “Oceans 11” - both the original with Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra and the re-make with George Clooney and Brad Pitt.
5. “Honeymoon in Vegas” - Nicolas Cage is back in Vegas, but this time its to try and marry Sarah Jessica Parker, but James Caan is in his way. Pretty amazing Flying Elvis scene into the Flamingo Casino at the end. Upcoming Blackjack movie: “21”
Robert Luketic (”Legally Blonde“) directs Kevin Spacey as a con-man who takes six MIT students trained in card-counting to Vegas and ultimately wins millions. Hottie Kate Bosworth also stars. The film is wrapped and I’ve seen some footage - Sony will be releasing the film October 29th in North America.
