Nintendo surprised fans by dropping a cryptic animated short named “Close to You” yesterday, offering no context for its purpose. While subtle clues—like a faint outline resembling a Pikmin in one scene and melodies from Pikmin 4—suggested possible ties to the franchise, theories ranged from a Super Mario Galaxy film teaser to entirely new ventures.

Today, the mystery deepened with an updated upload on the Nintendo Today app. The revised video reveals previously hidden Pikmin interacting with household items, replacing the illusion of floating objects. This confirms the project’s connection to the beloved series, though its exact nature remains unclear.

Speculation centers on whether this marks a promotional push for an unannounced Pikmin 5 or a multimedia endeavor by Nintendo Pictures, given the absence of partners like Illumination. A standalone short film or episodic content could align with Nintendo’s expanded storytelling ambitions. Despite the clarity on Pikmin’s involvement, Nintendo has yet to clarify the broader scope, leaving the video’s purpose open to interpretation.

As of now, the enhanced clip remains exclusive to the Nintendo Today app, mirroring the initial release strategy. With no additional context provided, anticipation builds for a potential full reveal in the coming days. Fans are advised to keep an eye on Nintendo’s official channels for updates.
