Nintendo Expands Alarmo Availability Despite Delays

Nintendo's Alarmo, a motion-activated alarm clock featuring characters and sounds from its franchises, will be widely available in March 2025. Initially exclusive to Nintendo Switch Online members, this $99.99 device will be accessible to the general public across the US, UK, and Europe. It offers interactive wake-up experiences with scenes from games like The Legend of Zelda and Super Mario Odyssey, using motion sensors to detect user activity. Despite its innovative design, the device has faced criticism for its high price in certain regions, such as Malaysia. The expansion follows a delay in its release, originally planned for mid-January, now set for early March. The move reflects Nintendo's strategy to broaden its market reach while addressing demand challenges.
