Nintendo released an animated short called Close to You without offering any details about its meaning. The company shared the video at the same time on the Nintendo Today app, its social media platforms, and YouTube, providing only the title. The nearly four-minute video shows a baby chasing a magical soother in a room, featuring high-quality animation and playful music recognized from Pikmin 4. A blurred Pikmin appears briefly, leading fans to suspect a possible connection to the Pikmin series.
Online discussions began immediately, with some suggesting the video hints at a new Pikmin game, film, or series, while others believe it could introduce a project about baby versions of Nintendo characters. Many viewers await further clarification from Nintendo about the short.
