Nintendo Sound Clock: Alarmo Is Now Available at Best Buy
Have Mario wake you up with Nintendo Sleep Clock: Alarmo, the latest in a long line of weird Nintendo releases.
The Mario company's latest hardware release is Nintendo Sound Clock: Alarmo. Previously exclusive to the Nintendo Store and only available for Nintendo Switch Online members, it’s now available to everyone. You can purchase your very own Alarmo at Best Buy right now for $99.99.
Where to Buy Alarmo
Alarmo is an interactive Nintendo-themed alarm clock. From a hardware perspective, it looks nice and cartoony, like something straight out of the Mushroom Kingdom. It has a full-color display that shows you the date, day, and time in a font and style based on your choice of five (or more) games.
Nintendo Sound Clock: Alarmo Games
Here are the games whose themes come pre-loaded:
- Super Mario Odyssey
- The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
- Splatoon 3
- Pikmin 4
- Ring Fit Adventure
If you connect your Nintendo account to your Alarmo, you can download additional game themes for free, including Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
To set it, you pick the game you want for the display, select a “scene,” and set the time and an alarm. When it’s time for the alarm to go off, you’ll hear music and sounds based on the game and scene you picked.
You can use Alarmo like a normal alarm clock, pressing the button to turn it off. Or you can use the interactive features, which make sounds play and characters on the screen react as you move around in bed after the alarm goes off. In this mode, getting out of bed turns the alarm off automatically.
In addition to setting alarms, you can have Alarmo play music from your chosen game every hour. Or, if you like to use sleep sounds, you can have it play calming music when you go to bed.
More Nintendo Hardware
This isn’t the first weird Nintendo release by a long shot. You can still buy a Pokemon Go Plus+ at some retailers, and you can go to bed with it, too. We're also following every development about Nintendo's next piece of hardware: the Switch 2.
