“Alarmo”: Alarm clock with sensors
"Nintendo Sound Clock: Alarmo," the full name of the device, has sensors that react to the user's movements. This means that they can activate the snooze function with a movement or turn the alarm off completely by standing up. A total of 35 different scenes from five Nintendo Switch games are available as the morning alarm tone: Super Mario Odyssey, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Splatoon 3, Pikmin 4 and Ring Fit Adventure. Then all you have to do is set the time - and Alarmo does the rest.
The morning then begins with sounds and music from the selected scene. For example, users wake up in the Mushroom Kingdom of Mario and friends, plunge into the world of Princess Zelda into everyday adventure or give your day a fresh coat of paint with the Inklings from Splatoon 3 – to name just a few possibilities.

A look at Alarmo's statistics even shows how much you moved in your sleep. Users can also set an hourly tone to match their chosen song and choose between two morning alarm modes. The "Power Wake Up" increases the intensity of the alarm the longer you stay in bed, while the "Gentle Wake Up" maintains a constant intensity.

If you prefer to silence your alarm the classic way by pressing the snooze button, you can do so with the "button alarm". In addition to waking up, Alarmo also makes falling asleep more pleasant: the "snooze sounds" function plays soothing music and sounds to help you relax at the set bedtime. If Alarmo has been linked to the user's Nintendo account, they will be able to download additional scene sounds through free updates in the future, including those from Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
Waking up to familiar melodies from your favorite Nintendo worlds will soon be possible with Nintendo Sound Clock: Alarmo. The interactive alarm clock adds a touch of Nintendo charm to any home and will be available in retail stores from mid-January.
