Nintendo Alarmo is now available for purchase at Best Buy for $100. This interactive alarm clock, themed around beloved Nintendo characters, initially launched exclusively in October at the Nintendo Store, requiring a Switch Online membership for purchase. However, its arrival at major retailers ahead of the anticipated March 2025 rollout is exciting news for fans.
Currently, Alarmo can be found at Best Buy and the Nintendo Store, with expectations for availability at additional retailers such as Walmart, Target, and GameStop in the near future. While Amazon does not carry Nintendo Switch products at this time, it stocks a variety of official Nintendo merchandise.
The vibrant Mario-red alarm clock features a dynamic front display and built-in speaker, allowing users to select their favorite Nintendo characters and games to wake up to each morning. Alarmo supports sounds and visuals from five popular Nintendo Switch titles: Super Mario Odyssey, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and more, with additional games added through free updates.
In total, over 40 scenes can be displayed on Alarmo, gradually increasing the volume of wake-up tunes, making it perfect for heavy sleepers. Available games include:
– Super Mario Odyssey
– The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
– Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
– Animal Crossing: New Horizons
– Splatoon 3
– Pikmin 4
– Ring Fit Adventure
Alarmo also boasts interactive features, such as a motion sensor that allows users to snooze their alarm with a gesture or a button press. It can play music at set intervals to remind users of the time and track sleep patterns to assess sleep quality.
Powered by a USB-C cable, Alarmo retains settings with an included coin battery, ensuring that disruptions to power won’t require a reset.
Anticipation grows as Nintendo promises future updates, including new scenes for Alarmo, which will be accessible via Wi-Fi downloads. For those curious, it’s reportedly possible to play Doom on the Nintendo Alarmo, demonstrating its unexpected versatility.
