"Yesterday Nintendo released a mysterious video called "Close to You" that set internet sleuths into action. The video depicted a cute baby seemingly moving objects around a nursery. Some thought that it might be a subtle teaser for the upcoming Super Mario Galaxy Movie, possibly showing the origin of Rosalina and her powers. Others noticed Pikmin musical cues and the tiny little creatures hiding in the background. Now we know for sure: it was Pikmin."
"Unfortunately, the newly-uploaded video is currently only available in the Nintendo Today app. (I'll update this post if and when it appears on YouTube.) In the video - which still has the same title - things play out the same, but this time around it shows that those adorable sentient plants are responsible for all of the moving objects. They're everywhere; flying off rattles, carrying toy blocks, and fighting over a pacifier."
Nintendo released a video titled "Close to You" that initially appeared mysterious, showing a baby seemingly moving objects in a nursery. Subsequent footage available in the Nintendo Today app reveals Pikmin carrying rattles, toy blocks, and fighting over a pacifier, confirming Pikmin caused the motion. Observers noted Pikmin musical cues and tiny creatures hidden in the background of the original clip. The video raises questions about Pikmin visibility and lore, since Nintendo previously said Pikmin "cannot be seen with the naked eye." Speculation has emerged about potential projects, including a Pikmin movie, Switch 2 tie-ins, Pikmin Bloom expansions, or standalone shorts.
