Nintendo Reuploads "Close to You," Confirming Pikmin With New Cut

The new version appears only in the Nintendo Today app and offers no credits or explanation, leaving its purpose unclear.

Overview

  • An updated four-minute cut explicitly shows red, blue, and yellow Pikmin moving the baby's toys and pacifier.
  • The reupload follows Tuesday’s unexplained release that hinted at Pikmin through music cues and blurred background figures.
  • Nintendo has not said whether the short promotes a game, a film or series, or stands alone as an animation.
  • As of publication, the Pikmin-revealing version is available on the Nintendo Today app and not on Nintendo’s social channels or YouTube.
  • Coverage notes Nintendo Pictures’ capacity for in-house animation and cites Pikmin Bloom lore that Pikmin are invisible to humans, aligning with the two-version reveal.
