Nintendo’s latest surprise isn’t the Switch 2 reveal coming this week, but rather a motion-controlled alarm clock, Alarmo. This product was exclusive to Switch Online subscribers, but it will now be available at select retailers.
Starting March 2025, Alarmo will be stocked at major retailers such as Walmart, GameStop, and Target. No specific dates or stores were disclosed, but the sound clock remains available through the Switch Online subscription.

Alarmco Convey’s Nintendo Themes
Alarmo is a $99 alarm clock that uses motion controls to get you out of bed the Nintendo way. First unveiled in 2024, this fun gimmick features themes and soundtracks retrieved from the publisher’s popular franchises, including Mario Kart, The Legend of Zelda, and Super Mario.
While the tech toy’s interactive nature and fun had already won fans over, its exclusivity to Nintendo Switch Online subscribers added to the hype. They wanted this piece of tech that was directly tied to their gaming console. Eventually, demand outpaced supply, leaving Nintendo with no other chance than to implement a lottery system for purchases.
