Weve been waiting and waiting, and Nintendo finally did the right thing and announced an entirely new piece of hardware. Alas, its not a new console but a very Nintendo-looking smart alarm clock. The Alarmo has motion sensors that let you snooze it based on your movement. (There is a physical snooze button too.) Youll also be able to check how much you move around while you sleep, and the clock has sleeping sounds and music to drift off to. Nintendo You can set the clocks background with scenes inspired by the likes of Super Mario Odyssey, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Splatoon 3, Pikmin 4 and, er, Ring Fit Adventure. The company says it plans to add more games as updates in the future. And when its time to wake you up, Alarmo will use music and sounds from those games. For now, the curio is only available if youre a Nintendo Switch Online member in the US and Canada. Other regions will have to wait, although as I finished writing today's TMA, Nintendo's UK site had the clock available to buy. You can order the $100 Alarmo online now, and Nintendo says it will be available at retail early next year. Mat Smith Get this delivered daily direct to your inbox. Subscribe right here!
