The Gaming Giant Discloses the Secret of the “Close to You” Short — It’s the Pikmin Creatures.

Nintendo has finally explained the enigma surrounding this recent animated video titled “Close to You” that confused fans: Indeed, as numerous fans speculated, it’s all related to the Pikmin series.

The Updated Version Shows Pikmin in Action

On Wednesday, Nintendo shared an updated version of the “Close to You” short, replacing unseen entities moving the baby items in a infant’s play area, numerous Pikmin are visibly shown to be behind the playful disorder. Various colored Pikmin are shown running around the room, moving things to and fro, and battling over the infant’s soother.

Fans Called It

To put it simply: enthusiasts accurately guessed. The day before, when the company first published the “Close to You” video through its official app, and afterward via standard social platforms, Pikmin fans correctly identified familiar tunes from the game in the short. Some thought they even spotted a few Pikmin faintly visible behind.

The Hidden Idea

“Close to You” adds weight to the theory that Pikmin are invisible to the unaided vision. But maybe babies can see them? The mother in the video does not seem to see or be concerned that her infant’s space is filled with the tiny creatures.

The Pending Query

A key question that is left unanswered: Why did Nintendo go to the effort of producing two versions? This remains unclear. It could be that a new Pikmin game on the way — or a edition for the next console of Pikmin 4 with additional infant-themed content. This new clip of the short doesn’t end with any type of teaser of a complete initiative.

The Company’s Signature Style

As previously mentioned, the video(s) may just be a further case of Nintendo’s distinctive behavior. The video may just be a further installment in the several Pikmin videos and comics that Nintendo has released for the franchise — which coincidentally turn 25 years old in the coming year.

No official comment has been issued by the gaming firm on the specifics and motives of “Close to You”, but if the company does make an announcement on this topic, further updates will be shared.
