Nintendo has announced new hardware and it’s not the one we were all waiting for. It’s Nintendo Alarmo and it’s an interactive clock that is much more than meets the eye.
Alarm features interactive motion sensor technology that respond to movements, allowing you to snooze your alarm with motion alone. It has 35 scenes inspired by five Nintendo titles including Super Mario Odyssey, Breath of the Wild , Splatoon 3, Pikmin 4 and Ring Fit Adventure.
When the alarm isn’t going off, you can experience immersive sounds and music from the scenes that you’ve picked, and then sounds from iconic Nintendo franchises will also play to wake you up.
There’s also a health element to Alarmo with records showing you how much you move around in your sleep and different kinds of intensity levels for the alarm itself.
Nintendo has already confirmed that scenes from Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Animal Crossing: New Horizons will come a later date too.
Unfortunately, at the time of writing, Nintendo Alarmo is only available in the US and Canada for Nintendo Switch Online members. It will come to retail in early 2025 and will cost $99 USD (~$150 AUD).
