Nintendo continues to surprise us with its hardware, especially with the announcement of the Alarmo clock.
Nintendo dropped an unexpected announcement on Wednesday — and no, it’s not the one we’ve been waiting for. In the vein of novelty gadgets like the Labo VR headset, the company will release an alarm clock that can track your sleep and tell when you’re still in bed.
The Nintendo Sound Clock: Alarmo will cost $100 when it releases in early 2025, although Nintendo Switch Online members can preorder it now, but just in the U.S. and Canada. It seems it’ll be available at some standard retailers, although like other oddball Nintendo creations, it’ll probably be in limited supply.
The Alarmo is extremely on brand for Nintendo. It’s round and bright red with a big white button that evokes characters like Mario. But beyond just looking like a Nintendo-branded clock, it has a motion sensor that Nintendo says can tell when you’re in bed and when you’re up and walking around.
