The Nintendo Alarmo kind of sucks. There, I said it. You can watch our review of the device above (just be aware it’s NSFW) while you wait for the thing to release to the general public. Just be aware: it’s overpriced and underdelivers.
That being said, if you were waiting for its release, today’s news may be disappointing: the Nintendo Sound Clock: Alarmo has been delayed in North America and Europe until March.
The Nintendo Alarmo is still exclusive to the Nintendo online store for paid Nintendo Switch Online subscribers. It does tend to sell out quickly, proving collectors will buy anything (including me).
In early December 2024, Nintendo released a Mario Kart 8 update to the expensive clock. While welcome, it didn’t add much value to the $100 USD unit.
Will you be picking this up when it drops in March?
