Nintendo Sound Clock: Alarmo – Announcement Trailer [Hardware] (Store link in description)

Online required is hilarious to see on a clock.

Trying to think of more ways they could make this absurdly annoying:

• If the alarm has been playing for too long, start playing the low health sound effect from Zelda
• If you have one minute left before you need to leave for school/work, play the "almost out of time" jingle from Super Mario
• Navi

What an unnecessary, silly project no one asked for. When can I order one outside the US?!? 😂

It surprises me that Nintendo would think enough people would pay for this, but considering the tech in it, I doubt it could sell for cheaper at a profit. What people don't realize is that there is a full on radar based health monitoring system in there that drives the price up. I expect this is a test bed for a future product that someone is trying to make back the R&D money.

does spending $100 on an alarm clock count as a literal interpretation of "go woke go broke"

what an incredible way to ensure you physically cringe the entire time you play any nintendo game with the sound on

This seems a horrible way to wake up.

This is what Nintendo hardware engineers do to fill time when the Switch 2 is just a scaled-up Switch 1

So, it's a Nintendo billboard in your bedroom, basically.

This looks like a raspberry pi clock project, with a Mario theme - it's not a terrible price if you don't want to build it yourself (at least I think) - but I doubt you can customize like a self built one.

Also if you make your own you'll probably get sued, so just don't sell it I guess lol

I still find this quite weird.

Having an alarm clock that connects to the internet certainly isn't something that I thought we needed.

Impressive. They actually managed to make a product that makes AAA Clock on the Switch eShop look like a good deal.

Seriously though, cut the price in half and I'd MAYBE consider this as something of a Nintendo related novelty/"luxury" if I had the cash to burn. You can't ever convince me (or most people) to pay $100 for a friggin' alarm clock though.
