Finally, it’s here, the announcement all you Mario and Zelda fans have been waiting for… the Nintendo Sound Clock: Alarmo.
Nintendo Switch 2 ? Never heard of it, but what I have heard of is the freshly announced Nintendo Sound Clock: Alarmo, a literal alarm clock from the Mario makers themselves. No, you haven’t just skipped a few months to April 1, this is a very real product that Nintendo has announced, and it is literally just an alarm clock. Well, that’s maybe being a bit reductive, because it’s an alarm clock done in a Nintendo Way, of course. You see, the alarm clock watches you as you sleep, and by that I mean it has motion sensors.

When the alarm goes off at your chosen time, it’ll play a theme from one of five games, including Super Mario Odyssey , Pikmin 4 , Splatoon 3 , Ring Fit Adventure , and Breath of the Wild (notably not Tears of the Kingdom ). The clock then responds to your movements, playing different sounds as you sit up and stretch your arms (because how else does anyone wake up other than in a dead-eyed fugue state), and when it sees that you’ve fully stood up out of bed, it finally shuts off. To be clear, there is a button mode where you can use it as a normal alarm clock, which it recommends you do if you share a bed with someone else.
Anyway, I’m sure the Nintendo Switch 2 announcement is right around the corner, right? Right?
