Nintendo drops mysterious animated short, and the internet goes wild

Today, Nintendo published an animated shorts on her platforms on social networks, which raises many questions.

Under the name “next to you” almost a four -minute video followed the child who plays with a magical way after his mother leaves the room. It is noteworthy that the shortage is not completely without dialogue and is installed for live piano music. In general, it looks like something directly from Pixar.

However, this makes this video really strange is that Nintendo provided an absolutely zero context for what it really is. On all his platforms, Nintendo simply repeats the title “close to you” in the description. Moreover, the film simply ends with the Nintendo logo, and does not hint at any additional information. Is it related to the game? Movie? Some strange accessory?

Naturally, this made many take the Internet for speculation. One common theory is that this applies to next year Film Super Mario GalaxyField In addition to the obvious coincidence of animation, the focus on the child believes that it can be Rosalina, a fan fan-staff, presented in Super Mario GalaxyIN Who helps Mario in his adventure. One of the main points of this game was the study of the background of Rosalina, which included her journey in a spaceship in childhood. Although Nintendo has not yet confirmed that Rosalina in the film is the fact that it is based on Galaxy It implies that she will have a main role.

Who knows what is happening here. The color scheme and these stars seem very Rosaline / Mario Galactic. Do we get the history of the origin of Rosalina in the new film? https://t.co/i60rdqroq8 pic.twitter.com/4zfekshcvd

Another theory is that it is Picmin game. Some fans with eagle eyes noticed small figures moving in the background. They are deliberately not in focus, but they, of course, could resemble one of the red plants similar to plants.

I think Nintendo can tease the new Pikmin project.

Of course, it can also be something more fully. Last year, Nintendo actually pulled out similar tactics of mysterious marketing from Brief video called “Emio” About a terrible man in a paper bag with an emoticon is drawn on it. Surprisingly, it ended in the fact that it turned out AMIO – Smiling Man: Detective -Club FamicomFirst entry in Famicom Detective Club A series of adventures for almost 30 years. Who would see this?

All this suggests that “close to you” can be anything, really. In order to be worth it, Nintendo It took a week to fully reveal the “emio”, I hope this is only a short expectation to get answers about the last riddle of the giant.
