Have you heard of the Nintendo Sound Clock “Alarmo,” the alarm clock that goes on sale to the public from Nintendo on October 10, 2024?⏰

Today, we’ll introduce the many features of the Nintendo Sound Clock “Alarmo” and some convenient ways to use it via Internet connectivity.

Wake Up Directly in a Game World

One of the biggest morning problems is hitting the snooze without even realizing it or not hearing the alarm at all, right?

That’s where the Nintendo Sound Clock “Alarmo” comes in.
This is a magical alarm clock released by Nintendo that wakes you up inside a game world.

Let’s dive into the charms of the “Nintendo Sound Clock Alarmo,” which makes waking up in the morning fun.

A Magical Alarm That Reacts to Your Movement

When your set time comes in the morning, the band performance and alarm start playing.
So far, it’s like any other alarm clock, but the surprising part is what happens next.

When you turn over or move your hand, you’ll hear Mario’s coin sound in sync with your movement!
And when you leave the bed, the alarm stops automatically without touching the clock and celebrates your wake‑up with a fanfare ⌚

Alarmo uses a “motion sensor” to detect movement, so you don’t need to touch it from the moment you wake up until you get out of bed—an important feature!
This motion sensor also helps prevent oversleeping, so even if you doze off again, you can rest assured ✨

Waking up directly in a game world and being celebrated as you leave the bed guarantees a happy morning✨

But be careful—if you don’t get up soon enough, the alarm sound will escalate into something intense…!?

Choose from 35 Different Wake‑Up Alarms

Amazing though it is, Alarmo lets you choose from 35 different alarms—7 scenes each from 5 game titles.
Check the official site to preview each alarm!

Even better, by connecting to the Internet, you can get upcoming alarms—like from “Animal Crossing: New Horizons”—for free!

With sounds from beloved games like Super Mario Odyssey, Pikmin, and Splatoon, your mornings will be full of joy✨
And since more alarms will be added in the future, be sure to stay connected to the Internet and wait for updates!

A Full Day with Alarmo

Alarmo isn’t just an alarm—it also offers hourly chimes, bedtime music, character actions, and more, letting you enjoy it all day long.

The hourly chime feature notifies you with character sounds at set times. When you get into bed, “bedtime sounds” play automatically to lull you to sleep.

You can even view records like how many times you turned over in bed or how long it took you to get out of bed.

Spending the day with Nintendo characters by your side beyond just waking up promises to make your days special!

Prevent Meeting Lateness by Connecting Alarmo to the Internet!

Have you ever been so engrossed in Switch gaming that you lost track of time?
Alarmo has a feature to help prevent exactly that✨

To use this feature, you need an Internet connection! Connect Alarmo to the Internet and sync it with your Switch right away.

Then just set the hourly chime on Alarmo and play on your Switch!

At the set time, a notification from Alarmo will appear on your Switch screen, helping you avoid losing track of time.

Thanks to this feature, you’re less likely to game late into the night or be late for meetings(!?), making life smoother.

Summary

We’ve introduced the charm of the much-talked-about Nintendo Sound Clock “Alarmo.”
Waking up to celebratory sounds from your favorite characters can be the perfect start to any day✨
