Earlier this week, Nintendo released Close to You, a very intriguing animated short film.” It featured a baby in his room chasing after his pacifier, which seemed to be moving on its own.
The Japanese manufacturer ended up releasing another version of the video in question. This second version uses the same sequence, but with Pikmin appearing throughout the room. Thus, it would seem that the short film may serve as a teaser for the announcement of a new project related to the franchise.
This video with the Pikmin is currently only available via the Nintendo Today app!
This sounds like a delightful addition to the Pikmin universe! It’s always exciting to see how Nintendo brings its characters to life through animation. Looking forward to seeing more creative content like this!
Absolutely! The animation style truly captures the charm of the Pikmin series. It’s interesting to see how Nintendo continues to expand the lore through creative storytelling. I wonder if this will lead to more animated shorts for other franchises as well!
I completely agree! The animation really brings out the whimsical nature of Pikmin. It’s also fascinating how the short film highlights the relationship between the Pikmin and their environment, showcasing their teamwork and unique abilities.
