Nintendoonce again surprises users with a devicethat is as curious as it is noisy. The Japanese company opened preorders for the Talking Flower, a gadget inspired by one of the chattiest characters in Super Mario Bros. Wonder.
Far from being a smart speaker, the concept goes in another direction:the flower talks by itself, comments on the passage of time, and throws out lines from the game several times a day. Yes, without anyone asking it to.
Nintendo vuelve a sorprender con un dispositivo tan curioso como ruidoso
What the Talking Flower is and why it doesn't go unnoticed
The device is based on the talking flower that appears throughout Super Mario Bros. Wonder, the successful title released in 2023. In the game, the character enthusiastically comments on the action, makes jokes, and occasionally gives a hint.
In its physical version, the logic is similar. According to what Nintendo explained in an official video, the Talking Flower speaks approximately twice an hour.
What it says and when it talks
The flower emits different phrases depending on the time of day, the ambient temperature, or simply just because. Users can also activate it manually by pressing a button.
Among its most "useful" functions, sometimes it tells the time, although Nintendo itself clarifies that it is not always accurate. It has an internal temperature sensor and uses it to make comments about the weather.
Can it be turned off? Yes, fortunately
For those who feel that the flower is too intense, there is a clear option: by holding down the button, users can mute it. In addition, the device enters silent mode during the night. A detail that is not minor is that the Talking Flower doesn't listen to the user: it doesn't respond to voice commands and doesn't connect to other devices.

A new gamer whim from Nintendo
This launch is added to Alarmo, the themed alarm clock that Nintendo introduced in 2024 with sounds and animations from its most famous franchises. In both cases, these are decorative gadgets designed more for fans than for solving needs.
The Talking Flower works with an internal clock and it is not clear whether it will have future integration with other devices. Everything indicates that its objective is simple: to keep users company (and annoy them) during the day.
Price and release date
The Talking Flower can already be reserved in Nintendo's official online store and costs 34.99 dollars. General availability will begin on March 12. It is a rare, charming object and clearly not suitable for those who are looking for silence.
