Nintendo Switch Alarm Clock Unveiled Preceding GTA 6 Debut
Nintendo's Surprise: An Interactive Alarm Clock and a Switch Online Playtest
A Nintendo interactive alarm clock? It's a reality! Alongside the newly revealed Nintendo Sound Clock: Alarmo, Nintendo has also launched a mysterious Switch Online playtest.
The Nintendo Sound Clock: Alarmo – A Wake-Up Call from the Game World
Priced at $99, the Alarmo uses game sounds to rouse you from slumber. Nintendo promises a truly immersive wake-up experience, feeling like you're emerging directly from your favorite game. The alarm features sounds from iconic franchises like Mario, Zelda, and Splatoon, with free updates adding more in the future.
The Alarmo's interactivity lies in its motion detection. It won't stop until you're out of bed, rewarding your effort with a "victory fanfare." While waving your hand will temporarily quiet the alarm, prolonged bed-dwelling will only increase its intensity.
Utilizing a radio wave sensor, the Alarmo measures your distance and movement speed without using video, prioritizing user privacy. Developer Tetsuya Akama highlights its ability to detect subtle movements even in dark rooms or with obstacles present.
Exclusive Early Access for Switch Online Members
US and Canadian Nintendo Switch Online members get a limited-time head start, purchasing the Alarmo via the My Nintendo Store before the general release. The Nintendo New York store will also offer in-person purchases.
