Nintendo's Chatty Talking Flower Heads to March 12 Release with Mario Wonder Update

Nintendo has detailed its Talking Flower toy, a chatty companion that randomly speaks a couple times per hour and can be triggered or silenced with a button. It supports 11 languages, includes a room-temperature sensor, and shows battery status via voice rather than LEDs, with scheduling for morning or night phrases. Preorders open now, and it’s set to release March 12, 2026. Nintendo also previewed a Switch 2 update for Mario Wonder featuring a new bellabel flower power-up, slated to launch March 26, 2026.
