Do you remember that strange animated video Nintendo released earlier this week? We now know what was going on, and it turns out online speculation was correct! The short video, called “Close to You,” shows objects moving seemingly by themselves. Some Reddit users noticed clues, but Nintendo confirmed it by uploading a new version to their Nintendo Today app. This version revealed that Pikmin were actually responsible for moving those objects.
Nintendo reveals the truth behind its mysterious animated short. It was Pikmin all along
The new reveal video is currently only available on the Nintendo Today app, while a version without Pikmin content has been posted to Nintendo’s YouTube channel. It’s possible this could change in the future, but Nintendo appears to be encouraging people to download the app to watch it. Fans quickly noticed the *Pikmin* soundtrack in the video, and some even spotted a blurry object briefly moving behind the child featured in the clip. You can find the original video from Nintendo below. To watch the reveal, you’ll need to use the Nintendo Today app.
Okay, so what does this all mean for future Pikmin games? Honestly, it’s still a mystery. Pikmin 4 dropped in 2023 and everyone loved it – it even won a Game Award! It would be a huge surprise if Nintendo *didn’t* plan on making more, but they’ve done animated shorts before, so nothing’s guaranteed just yet. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for more Pikmin adventures, though!
The positive reaction to a recent short film suggests that people might be interested in a full-length *Pikmin* movie. Nintendo has already seen success with *The Super Mario Bros. Movie* and is developing a *Legend of Zelda* film. While *Pikmin* isn’t an obvious choice for a movie, it could be a viable option.
