Nintendo fans are always on the lookout for the latest news! Rumors about the Nintendo Switch 2 are all over the place but a recent FCC filing turned out to be something totally different. This gave many fans an unexpected surprise!
Nintendo Sound Clock: Alarmo
Instead of a new console, Nintendo revealed a new product! The Nintendo Sound Clock: Alarmo is an alarm clock that incorporates sounds and music from popular Nintendo games. It even does things like reacting to user movement and the price is a whopping $99.99. You can buy it on the My Nintendo Store (if you are a Nintendo Switch Online subscriber) or from the Nintendo New York store.
Alarmo's Price and Concept
While the idea is unique, and looks like fun. That $99.99 price tag for an alarm clock makes it a tough sell. That high price means it’s only for hardcore Nintendo fans!
The core concept is cute - waking up to the sounds of Nintendo games - but is it really worth it? Some folks probably won't even use the features. Is it a morning-routine game-changer, or more of a novelty? Many folks think this has an unusual concept.
Switch 2 Rumors
The Alarmo might be surprising, but a Switch 2 is still expected to arrive soon! 2024 has been full of speculation.
Some sources even think Nintendo had originally wanted the console to launch in 2024, but there were reported delays. A launch sometime during Q1 2025 appears likely now. There is lots of additional information about the delays. What also might be adding to this is the continued support for the Nintendo Switch with The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom released recently!
Super Mario Party Jamboree and Mario & Luigi: Brothership are slated for later this year too, which are probably coming out close to the Holidays!
Given all that we're getting from Nintendo, it seems pretty likely there could be more coming soon.
The Alarmo's Impact
Though this alarm clock is certainly not the new console many hoped for, it was still a pretty big reveal. For the team behind the scenes, it may be a lot less effort, particularly with the marketing angle!
What many sources might be noting about this Nintendo device is that it demonstrates how the company continues to grow its empire by adding accessories that add more fun for Nintendo fanatics!
This device from Nintendo, demonstrates that they keep on making some very unusual, intriguing things and those who collect anything Nintendo will get something pretty awesome to display!
