Nintendo fans have been eagerly awaiting news about the upcoming Switch successor, but instead of hardware details, Nintendo has surprised everyone by releasing an official alarm clock called ‘Nintendo Sound Clock: Alarmo’. Priced at $99.99 on the Nintendo website, this unique alarm clock will be available for retail purchase in early 2025.

The Nintendo Sound Clock: Alarmo features motion detection technology that allows users to snooze alarms with a wave of their arm or stop the alarm by simply getting out of bed. With 35 different scenes inspired by popular Nintendo Switch titles like Super Mario Odyssey, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Splatoon 3, Pikmin 4, and Ring Fit Adventure, users can customize their wake-up experience. Additional scenes from Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Animal Crossing: New Horizons can be downloaded by linking a Nintendo Account.

While currently only available for order in North America and Canada, European fans will have the opportunity to purchase the Nintendo Sound Clock: Alarmo later this week. To qualify for a purchase, users must be subscribed to Nintendo Switch Online. The official Nintendo NY store in New York will also stock this unique alarm clock for local fans.

Despite the anticipation for the ‘Switch 2’, the release of the Nintendo Sound Clock: Alarmo may come as a surprise to many fans. However, the innovative features and customization options make it a tempting purchase for Nintendo enthusiasts. Would you consider buying the Nintendo Sound Clock: Alarmo?
