Alarmthe biggest hardware announcement Nintendo made last year, will soon be available to many more people. Nintendo says the motion-tracking alarm clock will be available to purchase “in-store at participating retailers” in March, without the need for a Nintendo Switch Online membership or a visit to a physical Nintendo store.
Nintendo’s Awakening originally launched in October 2024. It combines the beloved sound effects of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey, And Pikmin 4 with motion sensors that can track your movements and rotations. This gives the Alarmo rudimentary sleep tracking features and morning alarms that can get louder as you move around, only stopping when you actually sit down.

As Engadget’s opinion Found, Alarmo costs $100 and isn’t particularly effective as a sleep tracker. The alarm clock can only track one person at a time, preventing anyone sharing a bed from accessing its most charming feature. But if you’re weak to Nintendo nostalgia or have a child who’s already a fan, the clock is a cute way to start your morning routine.
In March, retailers will only have Alarmo “while supplies last,” but hopefully by then, hardcore Nintendo fans will have already saved up for their next big purchase.
