other · 2026-05-01

Nintendo has unveiled Alarmo, an innovative alarm clock equipped with motion-sensing technology that deactivates automatically when it detects you’ve risen. Retailing at €100, this device plays tunes from beloved franchises like Super Mario Odyssey and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, with additional titles like Animal Crossing: New Horizons slated for future updates. Developed over nine years, Alarmo also monitors sleep habits and movements, though it may struggle to differentiate between two individuals sharing a bed. Currently, it is exclusively available to Nintendo Switch Online members, with broader access set for mid-January.
