The Nintendo Alarmo clock will soon be available to buy in the US and Europe without needing a Nintendo Switch Online subscription.
Alarmo, the hardware Nintendo fans want which isn’t theSwitch 2, is finally going to be available for everyone to buy at retailers very soon.
Nintendo has taken to its social accounts to confirm that the “Nintendo Sound Clock”, lovingly nicknamed “Alarmo”, will go on general sale in select stores from March 2025.
Both theNintendo EuropeandNintendo Americaaccounts posted the news on X, although Nintendo Switch Online members have been able to exclusively purchase Alarmo via thebrand’s website for $99.99 / £89.99since October 2024.
This latest move will see the exclusivity on the smart alarm clock lifted, allowing everyone the chance to buy one – although you may need to be quick as Nintendo notes it’ll only be “available while supplies last".
Nintendo Europe mentions: “Ot will be available to buy from selected retailers in certain countries." However, there is no confirmation as yet on which locations are being lined up – so you’ll need to keep your fingers crossed it’s coming to where you are.

When the alarm goes off, Alarmo can play music from five popular Nintendo games –Super Mario Odyssey,Pikmin 4,Splatoon 3,The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, andRing Fit Adventure.
Connect Alarmo to Wi-Fi and you’ll be able to access alarm scenes from more games, includingAnimal CrossingandMario Kart 8. Each game has seven alarm varieties, giving you plenty of choice over how you’d like to be woken.
It even has built-in motion sensors which can detect when you’re moving in bed. Once the alarm music has starting playing, Alarmo detects your movement and responds with sounds from your selected game.

These include the sound of coin collection fromSuper Mario Odyssey, and ink splats fromSplatoon 3. The sounds and music will become more intense the longer it takes you to get up.
You don’t need to touch Alarmo to stop the alarm sounds either, as when you get out of bed it will play a fanfare to end the alarm sequence and celebrate you’re ready for the day.
It’s certainly another unique product from Nintendo, and one kids will likely adore.
