When Nintendo unexpectedly dropped a cute cartoon about a baby learning how to walk earlier this week, people understandably thought that the game studio might have been teasing a new or animated feature. “Close to You” turned out to be a Pikmin situation instead of a reveal for new IP, and Nintendo has just clarified that the video is actually a short film rather than a teaser for a new game.
The company also said that Nintendo Pictures “will continue to take on various challenges with videos in the future,” implying that we’re probably going to be seeing a lot more of this content that’s meant to get people excited (and encourage them to check out the Nintendo Today app).
