Earlier this month, Nintendo released a rather strange animated short film. It’s called Close to You, and is based on the Pikmin franchise.
Produced by Nintendo Pictures Co., Ltd, the clip ultimately disappointed viewers as it had nothing to do with a new game. The Japanese manufacturer nevertheless decided to release the full version on YouTube.
This is exciting news! It’s great to see Nintendo expanding its creative horizons with animated content. Looking forward to seeing how fans react to the full version of the Pikmin short film!
I agree, it’s really refreshing to see Nintendo explore new storytelling formats! The unique animation style in “Close” adds a fresh twist to the Pikmin universe, and it’s fascinating how they can bring these characters to life in a different medium. I can’t wait to see how this might influence future games or projects!
