Did Nintendo Just Tease Pikmin 5 in the Strangest Way Imaginable?

by

A recently released Nintendo video is sparking excitement among fans, leading many to believe a fifth *Pikmin* game might be in development. *Pikmin 4*, which came out on Nintendo Switch in 2023, was widely considered the strongest installment in the series yet. Though Nintendo hasn’t officially announced a new *Pikmin* game, this unusual video could be a hint that one is on the way.

Nintendo recently shared a short, four-minute video called “Close to You” on social media and YouTube. It shows a baby curiously watching toys and a pacifier move seemingly on their own. Nintendo hasn’t explained the video’s purpose, leaving viewers wondering what it means.

You can watch the video for yourself right here:

What does all of this have to do with *Pikmin*? It’s not confirmed, but there are a few clues. The music in the trailer sounds a lot like the music from the *Pikmin* games. Plus, some small creatures can be seen moving around in the background – though they’re blurry, many fans think they resemble Pikmin. This could be a first look at a new *Pikmin* game, or maybe a TV show or movie based on the series.

If This Isn’t Pikmin, Then What Else Could it Be?

Okay, so everyone’s buzzing about this new teaser, and if it *isn’t* about a new *Pikmin* game, the big guess is that it’s connected to the next Mario movie! We’re all super excited for *The Super Mario Galaxy Movie* – it’s coming out in Spring 2026, but Nintendo hasn’t even shown us a trailer yet. I’m hoping this teaser is a sneak peek!

Some fans believe a baby appearing in a strange video might actually be a young Rosalina. In the *Super Mario Galaxy* games, Rosalina is a mother figure to the Lumas and lives in a space observatory. While her backstory isn’t fully explained in the games, the new movie might finally reveal more about where she came from.
