Nintendo has officially announced Alarmo, an interactive alarm clock that brings the magic of its iconic games right to your mornings. Alarmo awakens you with music and sound effects from beloved Nintendo franchises like Super Mario Odyssey, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Splatoon 3, Pikmin 4, and Ring Fit Adventure. This innovative device includes motion sensors that detect whether you are still in bed. As the alarm rings, the volume gradually increases, and additional sounds play until it senses you've gotten up, at which point the alarm automatically stops. However, Nintendo notes that Alarmo cannot differentiate between multiple people, which might lead to some confusion if several individuals are in bed together. Currently available for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers at a price of 100 euros, Alarmo will be accessible to the general public next year, along with plans for future music updates.

What is Alarmo and how does it work?

Alarmo is an interactive alarm clock from Nintendo, designed to wake you up with music and sound effects from popular Nintendo games. It features motion sensors that detect your presence in bed and adjust the alarm sound accordingly to help you wake up more gently.

Alarmo represents Nintendo's continued effort to innovate beyond traditional gaming. By merging functionality with nostalgia, it taps into the emotional connection fans have with its classic franchises. The device serves not only as a practical tool for waking up but also as a collectible item for gamers who cherish the music and sounds from Nintendo's rich history.
