While Santa uses a red sleigh to deliver toys, the folks at Nintendo are turning to a silver RV.

The Japanese gaming giant has packed all its newest games into an Airstream and sent it around the country showing off the virtual Toyland.

It stopped in Tampa last week.

"We've been taking all our hottest holiday new games to everyone nationwide," said Janie Cowart with Nintendo.

Some of the games are already in stores, and others will be out just in time for the wish list. The new Super Mario Brothers Wii is set to come out on Nov. 15t, and the Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks will hit shelves on Dec. 7.

Nintendo is excited about the Super Mario Brothers Wii because four people can play at once.

"It's the first one of its kind," said Cowart.

Also out for the holidays is the new Wii Fit Plus. This upgrade to the Wii Fit allows you to customize your workouts to target specific areas. There are also 15 new balancing games to help tone your muscles while having fun.

To work the mind instead of the body, there are new games for the handheld Nintendo DSI also. The new titles include Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, and one that was just released that is geared more to the girls. It's called Style Savvy.

"It's where you're an owner of your own little boutique," said Cowart, "and it's your job to monitor your store's funds and stock the store inventory with different types of clothes."

All these games are sure to make the good little boys and girls very happy this year.
