Nintendo’s Talking Flower got a small price cut

Nintendo’s Talking Flower, a novelty toy based on the chatty character from Super Mario Bros. Wonder, has dropped from $34.99 to $29.99 at Amazon and Walmart. The gadget announces the hour, comments on the time of day and temperature, and delivers random pre-programmed remarks, but it has no microphone, internet connection, or practical alarm function.

The discount highlights Nintendo’s continued push into whimsical hardware that extends game characters into everyday spaces, even when the utility is limited. Products like Talking Flower and Alarmo suggest the company sees value in collectible, personality-driven devices that deepen fan engagement beyond consoles and games.
