Super Mario's Chatty Flower launches March 12: becomes a real device through witty remarks.
Nintendo has a rich history of releasing unique accessories, from R.O.B (Robotic Operating Buddy) from the NES era to the recent 'Alarmo' designed to help fans with their mornings. And now Nintendo is set to showcase a new product based on the 'Chatty Flower' that appears in the 'Super Mario Bros. Wonder' game.

The Chatty Flower shares short witty remarks about twice an hour, aiming to "brighten up your daily life." In addition to various one-liners, it announces the time, offers comments based on time of day and weather, and plays selected background music.
If you want to hear more of the Chatty Flower's voice, you can press a button on the device to make it say a "special phrase."
For parents or guardians purchasing this product for Mario fans around them, the good news is that there is a way to mute the Chatty Flower by long-pressing the same button on the device. However, it's important to note that the mute is only temporary, and after a certain amount of time, it returns to being chatty again.
The Chatty Flower supports a variety of languages including English, Spanish (Latin America or Spain), French, Portuguese, German, Italian, Dutch, Japanese, Chinese, and Korean. Nintendo has announced that users will occasionally hear phrases in languages other than the language they set.
The Talkative Flower is currently available for pre-order at a price of $34.99 (Korean official price 44,800 won), with shipping starting on March 12th. In the meantime, if you feel that such a product is necessary in your daily life, you can also choose to purchase 'Alamo' which is currently available for purchase and alleviate your waiting.
