Nintendo has announced a Nintendo-themed interactive alarm clock called Nintendo Sound Clock: Alarmo.
It will launch at retailers in early 2025 for $99.99 and Nintendo Switch Online members in the US and Canada can purchase it now on the My Nintendo Store. It is also available now at the Nintendo New York store.

Read details on the Nintendo Sound Clock: Alarmo below:
Alarmo features motion sensor technology that responds to your movements, allowing you to snooze your alarm with motion alone and stop it by getting out of bed. Tailor your routine and make waking up fun by picking from 35 scenes inspired by five Nintendo titles—Super Mario Odyssey, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Splatoon 3, Pikmin 4, and Ring Fit Adventure—then set a time and let Alarmo handle the rest.
In the morning you’ll experience immersive sounds and music from the scene you picked. Rise to sounds of the Mushroom Kingdom with Mario and friends, begin your day’s adventure with Link and Princess Zelda, or start fresh with the Inklings from Splatoon 3. And those are just some of the experiences you can wake up to!
That’s not all—you can also check Records to see how much you move around in your sleep, set an hourly chime themed to your chosen title, and change between Steady or Gentle Modes for your morning alarm. In Steady Mode, the alarm will gradually get more intense the longer you stay in bed, whereas Gentle Mode offers a more consistent intensity level. There’s also Button Mode for a more traditional, tactile “hit the snooze button” alarm clock experience. You can even use sleepy sounds to wind down with soothing music and sounds at your set bedtime.
Plus, if you link your Nintendo Account you can download scenes from the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Animal Crossing: New Horizons games via free updates when they become available.

Nintendo are just trolling at this point 😂
it's overpriced.. but it's cute.. when i have a child.. i'll buy one..
Regardless of the price, I don't think I can say no. Just gonna have to get one.
Your going to hate nintendo games after being woken up
Wish they announced this at a Direct and see all the live reactions to it.
Is this the Quality of Life stuff they've been draggin on since the Wii days?
That’s so random.
Way overpriced gadget...
What a rip off!
Everything feels so pricey and often without feeling premium.
Got mine. In the 3 or so minutes I saw three other people buy an Alarmo. Take that for what it's worth.
How much does this cost to make, ship, etc? Maybe $30 since it won't be in mass production. If it's that price, it should be $50-$60 for customers. $100 is crazy.
Honestly though why is Nintendo wasting resources on this. A $100 annoying alarm clock....just ridiculous.
WTF?!
Would make a nice gift for nephew/nieces. But i ain't spending $100 US for one lol.
It's cute and I want it and I will buy it. Sorrynotsorry
wut
Well, that's not the direct everyone was waiting for, right?
Plot twist, that is the switch successor.
Just ordered that baby :) It will be a nice gift my little one!
Seeing Nintendo fans liking this rip-off gimmick is sad.... oh wait they love spending overpriced and overrated old Nintendo games that still at full price!!
Seeing Sony fans bashing anything that comes out of Nintendo because people love their products is just very pathetic and sad. Especially when Sony just announced a 700US Dollar console. Hypocritical. Nintendo fans are tired of hearing complaints like this from people like you who look at them with contempt.
You're a prefect example why Nintendo continue to get away with ripping people off. Tell me are you also one of those fools like to buy crApple iphone every year at full price?
I've got a switch but will never pay full price on their games! What happened to Nintendo Select / Players Choice? It's not happening cause of you kids continue to pay full price so Nintendo thought why the fook should we give fair pricing when fools like to waste money on Nintendo!
Shitty comparison to PS5 pro as I don't need that to play Sony games and no one force to buy that. Whereas Nintendo games you can't get anywhere cheaper, it either waste money on rip off games or don't play.
You're the sad and pathetic one for defending a greedy corp!
