Alarmo Now Available To Everyone On The My Nintendo Store (US)

It's cute and all, but there is an infinite number of things I'd rather spend $100 on.

The alarm clock has themes but the switch doesn't?
What madness is this?

Nintendo can put this up for sale without an online subscription, yet they can't do the controllers?
For shame!

By now, not many want it anymore.

Just save the money on Switch 2.

As neat of a novelty item Alarmo is, it's nothing I particularly need. At least not for $100 when my phone alarm works just as well.

Don't reward this cash grab.

I'd buy this for half the price.

Most people who want it I feel like already got it by now. I got mine about a month ago and it’s absolutely incredible

I bought it for my daughter. Actually it sucks: the display is always too dark and the wake-ups are no fun. Pretty disappointing.

@Tyranexx That's how I feel as well. Functionally, my digital alarm clock plus my phone are more than enough to get my arse out of bed. Despite that, I do still consider buying one of these just because it seems so fun lol

I can set up any song as my alarm using my phone. This is just absurdly overpriced for what it does.

Feels even more so that this exists to appease the sect at Nintendo who would wanted Switch 2 to weird or not even a Switch 2, making Iwata’s quality of life device dream come true probably satisfied them a lot. Timing was appropriate too in catching the public off guard with something strange that’s then followed up by the safe Switch 2.

@TheBigK To be fair, I was thinking about these the other day and debating about buying one just to replace my old clock radio that no longer works lol; it still keeps time, but there's some kind of short. My phone has been an efficient replacement, and $100 for a novelty item is a little much for me.

@Erigen You took the words right out of my mouth! I’m saving for the Switch 2. As others have said, I’ve used my phone as an alarm for years and that’s done me just fine. I’ve made many custom ringtones as well.

Splendid. I'll take ten.

I can buy a cool clock on Amazon for about $20

I know most people are dunking on the clock but I love it. I think I am the target audience. I don’t like having my phone around, I want a clock that I can’t deactivate by voice command, and I love Nintendo series. It’s really cute and gets me out of bed really easily. I love the product

The number of people on here dissing this clock is quite alarming. Okay, it's time for me to stop with the clock puns. I'll clock out now.

My boyfriend subbed Nintendo online just to get me one for Christmas. He is the best. I love it. I hate mornings and loathed my phone alarm. I love waking up to this thing. I’ve been in Japan for 3 weeks and brought it with me. We both love the sleepy sounds. This alarm clock is hurting no one lol.

Not sure if I’ll ever get this, but it’s good that more people have access to it. But that price is definitely pretty steep.

Created scarcity is a thing, especially for over-priced products.

I got one. I put it in the kid's room. It's officially replaced my old Nickelodeon Sound blaster that I gave to him. Waiting for more updates though. Nintendo, imo, should be releasing more content for it on a regular basis

@NTELLIGENTMAN I guess you could say that some of these people are pretty...

ticked off.

YEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Sound the Alarmo

@Glasso After the initial round, its been in fair stock though

@Kyloctopus yes that's the playbook. create initial scarcity to build FOMO for something trivial.

@axelhander
Oh, stop. I'm sure you buy DLC all the time lol

Think that price is high, wait till the scalpers buy them all up.

@axelhander
Oof. I hit a nerve, eh? Lol

Still disturbing they waste time on making something like this when we are waiting for far more important things like Switch 2, Tomodachi Life, a new Animal Crossing game, etc. This is obviously not a popular product and it has such a tiny demographic.

I've had fun with mine. I ended up mostly sticking with the Pikmin theme. It makes me smile.

It's an overpriced novelty, but fun all the same and for a superfan like me, no regrets! Happy to pay $100 for something that has made me smile each day for months.

I enjoy my Alarmo but I'm still waiting for the Animal Crossing theme.

Would be nice if they let us know what other themes to expect because right now it kind of feels like they forgot about the thing.

Oh, I almost forgot about this. I remember thinking "We're waiting on Switch 2 news, & Nintendo coughs THIS out?!"when this was announced.

I liove my Alarmo. I use it everyday. The themes are great, but i still want Metroid sounds.

@NTELLIGENTMAN It's about time you stopped.

Zelda's Lullaby-downloaded for free-as my tablet alarm,and the secret sound effect for my notifications. Better than shelling out over $100 CDN for something I don't need.

Anyone else rubbed the wrong way by it being round despite being digital?

It’s ridiculous that anyone would want this overpriced junk

man, making it an exclusive deal gave me SO much time to talk myself out of wanting this, from every angle. thanks Nintendo!

fomo expired.

Imagine a world in which you can wake up to “MARIO KART EIIIIGGHHHTT!!” every morning. That sounds like a world worth living in.

@Lord People buy brand new iPhones every year for full price when their old one works just fine. People are gonna do people things. Now me on the other hand, I had the perfect excuse for buying an OLED Switch when I already had a regular one: “My brother keeps using my Switch all the time, so instead of getting him a Lite model or a Black Friday bundle with a game included, I’ll get me a new Switch and give him my old one!” Don’t worry, God condemned me when the Smash Ultimate OLED bundle was released after I had already bought the regular console.

@Spider-Kev By the time they remembered how to make them, it was too late for the Switch, but not for the clock. I really want the Switch 2 to have an alarm feature baked into it for no reason other than it’d be stupid and charming.

@N00BiSH All this clock talk seems very long-winded.
…
I will make my way to the corner now.

@BTB20 I won't buy it for half the price 😉

Only passing through to read the complaints and yet again the comment section provides gold, right on time. It's like I could set my watch to it....whinge o'clock!

I packed mine away. The motion sensing doesn't work great, the lack of being able to set different alarms on different days is a basic feature that my phone does well. My phone on Nightstand Mode is much better than this sadly because the scenes are fun.
