Mystery solved… so what?
In the short film “Close to You”, Internet users were able to keep their eyes peeled to notice what looked like a red Pikmin in the background of the video. A theory that is confirmed today via the Nintendo Today application, on which this video appeared again, but with some changes. We then notice that it is the Pikmins who are concerned herewith this new version of the video (captured by the Nintendero channel while waiting for Nintendo to publish it itself on its channel) which no longer bothers to hide them.

Okay, that’s all well and good, but what next? We still don’t know what message Nintendo wants to send here. The manufacturer was not particularly clearer today regarding this Pikmin video. We still don’t know if this short film is there to show the capabilities of Nintendo Pictures (which has already worked on Pikmin before), or if this is an adaptation of the saga, or even a new game. Will we have the answer tomorrow at the same time… who knows, at this stage, it’s difficult to know what Nintendo has in mind around this video.
