Nintendo's charming alarm clock, Alarmo, is waking up to a wider release! Coming in March 2025, this unique device will be available at major retailers worldwide.
Nintendo's Latest Announcement: More Than Just a Clock
While the gaming world eagerly awaits news of the Switch 2, Nintendo is giving us something else to look forward to: a broader release of their interactive alarm clock, Alarmo. Starting March 2025, you'll find Alarmo on the shelves of Target, Walmart, GameStop, and other participating retailers. Best of all? The Nintendo Online membership requirement is being dropped, making it accessible to everyone. Get ready to wake up to the sounds of your favorite Nintendo games for $99.99 USD.
High Demand and Sold Out Status
Alarmo's popularity exploded after its initial October 9, 2024 announcement. Demand was so high that Nintendo temporarily suspended sales in Japan, switching to a lottery system for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers. Even in New York City, Alarmo quickly sold out, leaving many eager fans waiting for restocks.
"We have received a large number of orders for the Nintendo Sound Clock Alarmo, which was released on October 9th, so we are currently suspending sales of the product on the My Nintendo Store. In response to this, we are currently preparing to change the sales method at My Nintendo Store to a lottery sale for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers, so please wait for a while. We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause to our customers. Furthermore, we will continue to produce the products in order to deliver them to as many customers as possible."
Alarmo's Fun Features
Alarmo isn't your average alarm clock. Featuring sound effects and visuals from beloved games like Super Mario Odyssey, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and Splatoon 3, it offers 42 charming scenes (with more to come via free updates!). Wake up to gentle sounds and playful characters, and gently wave your hand to quiet the alarm before a more "persuasive" visitor arrives if you oversleep. The motion sensor means no fumbling for the snooze button!
Beyond its fun wake-up calls, Alarmo also offers soothing sleep sounds, hourly chimes, and sleep pattern tracking. For those sharing their bed with others or pets, the Button Mode is a helpful addition. And remember, while a Nintendo Online membership was initially required, that's no longer the case for the expanded release!
