On Tuesday, Nintendo released an animated short titled "Close to You," sparking speculation without offering any explanation. Hints, such as a blurred Pikmin and music from Pikmin 4, suggested a connection to the series, but its purpose remained unclear.
The company clarified part of the mystery today with a new version of the video on its Nintendo Today app. This time, the invisible Pikmin in the room were more visible, confirming the short’s connection to the Pikmin franchise.
However, the exact nature of the project remains unknown. It could be a marketing campaign for Pikmin 5 or a preview of a new film or TV series from Nintendo Pictures.
