Nintendo Introduces Real-World Talking Flower From Mario Wonder, Targeting Spring 2026 Release

A palm-sized desk toy using the character’s voice underscores a broader merchandise push, with price plus full features still unannounced.

Overview

  • Nintendo unveiled a physical Talking Flower during the September 12 Nintendo Direct.
  • Sales are planned for spring 2026, with price and an exact date still to be announced.
  • The palm-sized collectible uses the game’s cheery voice and can sometimes speak on its own, according to Yoshiaki Koizumi.
  • It is not a voice assistant or smart device; it simply talks rather than responding to commands.
  • Reporters noted what appears to be a button on the pot, but Nintendo has not confirmed activation details or whether the lines are new or reused.
