Nintendo Releases Mysterious Animated Short Film “Close to You”
Nintendo released the animated short film “Close to You” without any explanation. The video features a baby chasing a floating pacifier—sparking speculation.
Nintendo surprised fans by releasing a short animated film titled “Close to You” full of questions. The company has not provided any context or explanation — the video was only uploaded to X (Twitter) and Nintendo’s official YouTube channel with that title without additional explanation.
The clip shows a simple scene but raises many speculations: a baby playing in a room while being given a pacifier by the mother. When the mother hears a sound at the door and leaves the room, strange things start to happen — some toys move on their own, a rattle bracelet rolls, building blocks shift, and the baby’s pacifier detaches and floats in the air. The baby then chases the pacifier across the room until it lands on a hanging mobile above the crib. When the mother returns, she looks surprised because her baby suddenly starts to walk; the scene ends warmly as the mother hugs the baby and puts the pacifier back.
The Nintendo logo appears at the end of the video, but there are no further clues about whether this clip is part of a new game promotion, film teasers, or a separate animation project — leaving the public to speculate.
