Alarmthe most important hardware announcement made by Nintendo last year, will soon be available to many people. Nintendo says the motion-tracking alarm clock will be available for purchase “in stores at participating retailers” in March, without the need for a Nintendo Switch Online subscription or a visit to a physical Nintendo store.
Nintendo’s alarm clock was originally launched in October 2024. It combines beloved sound effects from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey, and Pikmin 4 with motion sensors that can track your toss and turns. It gives Alarmo some basic sleep tracking features, and morning alarms that get louder when you flap, only to stop when you sit up.

as Review by Engadget found, the Alarm is expensive at $100, and not particularly good as a sleep tracker. The alarm clock can only track one person at a time, preventing anyone sharing a bed from accessing its most attractive features. But if you’re weak on Nintendo nostalgia or have a kid who’s already a fan, the clock is a nice way to start your morning routine.
In March, retailers will only have the Alarm “while supplies last,” but hopefully that way, die-hard Nintendo fans will be able to save up for the their next big purchase.
