Nintendo's Quirky "Alarmo" Alarm Clock

Need a new alarm clock? 

What about Nintendo's unique take on the concept - the motion-tracking "Alarmo,".

The device, which uses iconic video game sound effects to rouse sleepers, will be available at participating retail stores without requiring a Nintendo Switch Online subscription or a trip to a Nintendo store.

​Alarmo blends nostalgia with technology. It features sound effects from popular Nintendo titles such as The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey, and Pikmin 4. Integrated motion sensors track the user's movements during sleep, offering basic sleep tracking functionality. The alarm itself can escalate in volume based on the user's tossing and turning, only ceasing when they sit up.

The Alarmo's is priced at $159 and it’s limited as a sleep tracker as it can only track one person at a time. But you can’t deny the device's appeal, particularly for those with a fondness for Nintendo's classic games or for children who are already fans.

If you want one, you will need to register your interest at the Nintendo store and cross your fingers.
