A video game market report states that the Nintendo Switch 2 has sold quite well within its first three months of availability.

Nintendo’s recent animated short Close to You initially appeared as a gentle, mysterious vignette: a baby’s pacifier drifts and floats, seemingly alive, as the child chases after it in a softly lit nursery.

While there were hints of Pikmin in the original, this version of the short is filled with them interacting with various objects.

Nintendo has its own dedicated animation team. Nintendo announced it had acquired Dynamo Pictures in 2022 “to strengthen the planning and production structure of visual content in the Nintendo group,” renaming the studio to Nintendo Pictures. The studio's goal, Nintendo says, is to "focus on development of visual content utilizing Nintendo IP."

Nintendo has revealed their mysterious teaser is related to Pikmin. Could this be a new Switch 2 game? An RTS taking advantage of the ergonomic Joy-Con mouse controls? Or is this the latest in Nintendo’s journey into film and television production.

Nintendo has released a second version of the animated short that confused many fans and is now likely to have made some of those who guessed what was going on feeling very pleased with themselves. The video appears to be the same as the one that the company foisted upon the world on Tuesday,

Don't worry: Nintendo still makes video games-- the company even used the Nintendo Today app to reveal the spin-off game Splatoon Raiders, and the Nintendo Switch 2 still has some exciting games coming up this year, such as Pokemon Legends: Z-A and Metroid Prime 4: Beyond.
