Nintendo is no stranger to puzzles, but its latest one is a real head-scratcher. Out of absolutely nowhere, Nintendo released a Pixar-esque animated short on its YouTube channel called “Close to You,” and posted the video on all its socials with zero extra context or information. It’s a delightfully adorable short featuring a baby and their mother, but we have pretty much no idea what it’s for right now. But there are some interesting little details hidden throughout that could give us at least an idea, and the most likely candidate right now seems to be Pikmin.
In “Close to You,” we see a mother playing with her infant before she leaves to check on a knock at the door. After she’s left, items in the room start floating on their own, including the baby’s pacifier, toy blocks, and more.
