Nintendo unveils $34.99 Talking Flower collectible from Super Mario Bros. Wonder

Nintendo revealed a palm-sized Talking Flower collectible tied to Super Mario Bros. Wonder during its January 23 Nintendo Direct. The accessory speaks phrases and greetings, can announce the time and temperature, supports multiple languages, and includes schedule and wake settings. Priced at $34.99, the Talking Flower is available for pre-order now and will land in stores in March 2026.

The Talking Flower is positioned as a novelty collectible with practical features. Beyond its shelf appeal, the device functions like a small smart novelty: it can wake you with scheduled greetings, give quick time and temperature updates, and cycle through language options for display or playroom setups. Its palm-sized footprint makes it easy to tuck into a console shelf, desk setup, or themed display alongside amiibo and other Mario merch.

The announcement appeared as part of a wider presentation that confirmed Super Mario Bros. Wonder - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, which will add new content and new amiibo, and outlined several Spring 2026 releases. Nintendo’s push of a physical talking collectible alongside a platform-specific edition of the game underlines a coordinated strategy to promote Wonder across hardware, software, and merchandise during the Spring window.

For collectors and community members, the Talking Flower offers a low-cost entry point into Nintendo’s licensed gadgets. At $34.99, the price sits in line with other novelty electronics and small-scale collectibles, making it an impulse buy for display curators and a conversation piece for livestreamers and content creators. Because it supports multiple languages and scheduling, it could serve as a practical desk companion or a themed alarm within a Nintendo-focused setup.

Retailers and resellers will likely watch demand closely given the visibility of the Direct and the tie-in to Switch 2 content. If you track limited-run merch or amiibo-driven reissues, consider whether a pre-order makes sense for your collection strategy; shipping windows point to March 2026, so budget and shelf space now to avoid missing the initial run.

The Talking Flower joins a broader slate of Spring 2026 items that aim to keep Wonder prominent as Nintendo transitions to new hardware content. For fans, the immediate decisions are simple: pre-order if you want first-run stock, or wait for hands-on impressions closer to March to see how the talking functions hold up in day-to-day use.
