"Most of what Nintendo uploads to its Nintendo Today app is fairly predictable; think a screenshot or trailer for an upcoming game or the latest soundtrack being agonisingly drip-fed onto Nintendo Music. But today's surprise drop is more mysterious than usual. If you opened up the app this morning, you'll have been met with a decidedly Pixar-like animated short, with virtually no context."
"Titled "Close to you," the almost four-minute video focuses on a baby playing with what appears to be an enchanted pacifier. In the child's attempt to catch the flying soother, they start to walk for what seems to be the first time, given the reaction of the mother when she walks into the room. The whole thing is accompanied by some typically pleasant piano music, but ends without Nintendo telling us what any of it means."
Nintendo uploaded a Pixar-like animated short titled "Close to You" to the Nintendo Today app. The almost four-minute video centers on a baby interacting with an apparently enchanted pacifier that flies and prompts tentative first steps amid the mother's surprised reaction. Gentle piano music underscores the sequence. Nintendo provided no explicit explanation or context for the clip. Viewers have speculated links to The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, the possibility of the baby being a young Rosalina, or hints toward a Pikmin film. The short was reposted across Nintendo's social channels and has generated audience curiosity.
