I didn't think the square screen was all that noticable. Sure, there was a bit of glare in the video, which made it more obvious. I imagine a circular screen of this particular size would probably have had to be custom-made for Nintendo, which would have had a considerable effect on the price of the device. It was probably just easier (and also, less financially risky) to find a supplier that already offers a particular size of rectangular screen.
@@haukenot3345This device doesn't cost Nintendo more than 10$ to manufacture, circular screens *are* readily available and for cheap. They voluntarily chose not to put OLED to save money, which is what people are expressing their disappointment with.
Grown-ups being angry about this product baffled me.. isn't nintendo allowed to make things for kids anymore??😅 not that a Grown-up can't buy it.. you do you. But it's clearly made for their younger audience! Who will greatly enjoy a clock like this. I'm glad they still make children stuff because that's the future you need to capture! Not only pleasing us 30+ year olds.
I hate it no mini game limited themes no battery rectangular screen in round bezel overpriced... bought one immediately because my child will not care about any of that and will likely be amped up about it and love it. so kinda fully agree
Yeah idk why people got upset about it. Most people don't need a "smart" alarm, but some people might get some use out of it. $100 isn't completely unreasonable for a sensor based alarm clock with sleep tracking features and other bells and whistles.
I don't think people are mad about the concept of the product, I think it's more so the steep price and wasted potential. Yea, it can watch you sleep and has themed alarms, but then what? The other Alarmo features are already available on app stores for free. From sleep tracking, gradually louder alarms, and sleeping sounds. Unfortunately with every 6 year old having a phone there's no real incentive or hook to spend $100 for what's essentially a surveillance camera and mp3 player with Nintendo IPs on it. That's what people are mad about. Plus no one falls for the "free seasonal updates" anymore. We've learned our lesson that "seasonal/free updates = we'll finish the product later"
I'm gonna be so real I've been sleeping thru my phone alarm for the past couple weeks and it's SO easy to hit snooze. I may just get one of these to incentivize and gamify waking up for myself.
@@htsunmikuUnfortunately without root you can just force close the app or hold power for 7sec to reboot the phone and get rid of the alarm, already tried them..
The definitive Nintendo night: • Mega Man Helmet and Arm Cannon sleep wear • 8-bit Link Pillow • NES Controller Pillows • Animal Crossing plushies • Mario Game Night blanket • Pokemon Sleep • Alarmo
I can only imagine waking up to anything sounding like something you’d listen to when you’re hardcore gaming (talking to you splatoon music), because it’ll totally get me up faster.
Lol, you'll end up buying one, I've heard a hundred people today say the same thing, and within a couple hours already ordered one. Actually, most smart clocks are around this price. Add the Nintendo theme with free future downloads (Animal Crossing and Mario Kart) by the end of the year it's not horrible.
As someone who has ADHD, it's a bit weird at first getting used to it, but as soon as it started doing the chimes, I started feeling more calm and at piece
so you don't need to be a nintendo member to purchase these nintendo online products? You can just go to the real world store to get these (and the exclusive controllers)?
At least I can get it next year, I really hated it when I saw the whole trailer and they said it was only for the US and Canada. This honestly might make waking up and getting out of bed so much easier for me.
I saw in another video that if you let the Mario timer go longer than 20 minutes, the song changes. My friends and I were wondering when the Breath of the Wild one goes for longer than 20 minutes, does it play the Guardian theme?
I had to buy one of these from a store in Japan because I am not a Nintendo Switch Online Service member. So I will be able to set the alarm to English?
Nice hands on! May I ask if Alarmo has the function that it can calibrate the time itself through the WiFi? Therefore we don't have to do it manually every once a while.
Wish i had money to drop $100+ on an alarm clock that i never even saw the trailer for😂. In all seriousness tho, Im glad that they have a regular mode for those with pets. My cats would get HELLA spooked by the coin sound effects and all 3 of them triggering the sounds at the same time running away would be HELL on mine, my wifes and our roomates ears. Would probably wake up their baby too. Itll just be FULL audio hell in the whole apartment
I put on headphones to hear what I think I'm hearing more clearly. That faint music from Mario 3D Land and Nintendo Land, is that coming from the clock during menus, or did you just edit that in.
I see everyone talking how it's missing good music or especially "the guardian theme" Has no one paid attention to Nintendo saying they plan to release more in the future? They're bound to release it, just wait. The clock JUST launched
I am happy about purchasing one, but it's price point is not aimed at kids as many people in the comments seem to believe. I am absolutely awful about waking up this may actually help me a lot ngl. I had been thinking about picking up a physical alarm clock for a while to separate it from my phone. Bit pricey but decided it was worth picking up before scalpers started doing their thing.
I find it very stupid they didn’t add tears of the kingdom, because tears of the Kingdom had some of the best soundtracks I’ve ever heard and I also feel like you should be able to upload sounds from your Nintendo switch onto it especially if you have the Nintendo plus or whatever because then you could do older games, like ocarina of time and stuff
I have a request: could you give me some footage of things that play the groovy long legs music? None of the uploads on yt are actually correct, as the boss uses separate audio files to make sure the music is synced to its actions. This means that there's no file that you can take from the game and upload. You have to assemble the song yourself. It'd be really funny if nintendo got the music wrong on this clock lmao.
Nintendo could’ve added the guardian theme for the breath of the wild one trust that theme would wake me up faster than ever lol
I mean you do have drowning pikmin soooooooooo
The alarm should wake you up peacefully not give you a panic attack.
Nah cuz I was just thinking that-
Waking up is peaceful....until you ignore the alarm. ;D
Nintendo knows the trauma they caused hehehehhee
They did add it, there are multiple "scenes" for each game
13:16 WE STOPPIN GRIZZCO IN OUR SLEEP, BOYS!!!!!!
HELL YEAHHHHHHHHH
Woohooo get him!
Ngl the square screen is ugly looking. I don't like that it's not the full circle.
100% should have been an oled screen for $100
Day 1 for me ❤

In this case, the marketing would be misleading because there were no children featured in the advertisement. They showed adults using it.

Is it made for kids? Why do kids care about sleep tracking
Seems like something that’s fun for a few days before you get sick of it
Like most alarms?
It's not a toy it wakes you up i don't play with my alarm it just wakes me up
It reads March 10th on the box. Mario Day. Funny, Nintendo...
That's my birthday lol
nintendo switch 2 release date confirmed

The white thing on top is literally a massive snooze button.
just get alarmy app
Also I'm pretty sure there are apps that make you do a task before turning the alarm off.
@@htsunmikuUnfortunately without root you can just force close the app or hold power for 7sec to reboot the phone and get rid of the alarm, already tried them..
@@deedeeramone34 you can select a mode where you have to fully leave your bed to turn off the alarm
Bro bought it INSTANTLY
so did i 💀
Bought it instantly after I saw Pikmin was an option.

• Mega Man Helmet and Arm Cannon sleep wear
• 8-bit Link Pillow
• NES Controller Pillows
• Animal Crossing plushies
• Mario Game Night blanket

i have splatoon plushes :3
An alarm clock has more personality than the Nintendo Switch operating system.
duuuuh
Maybe switch 2 will have even more personality (:
@@flyingdoggo316 nope
perioddd
IMO there's nothing wrong with the Switch OS. The icons are nice and it's overall very functional. Was the Wii OS better?
13:15 having dj octavio and squid sisters wake me up in the morning is a dream come true bro, i love splatoon music so much
12:29 I never knew the Stable theme would be such a nice tune to set as an alarm!
I need to wake up to that Pikmin 4 morning music. I have such a hard time waking up in the morning, and I bet this would help.
I can only imagine waking up to anything sounding like something you’d listen to when you’re hardcore gaming (talking to you splatoon music), because it’ll totally get me up faster.
I cool as this thing is, i have a phone alarm that works just fine.
Same 😅
Same lol
The fact Daybreaker Anthem from Splatoon isn't a theme is criminal. Who tf wants to wake up to punk rock/electronic pop and gunfire 😭
I mean, if it played Daybreaker would fall back asleep
Well, that's what downloadable sounds are for.
This is the evolution of Nintendo clocks
From the DS 'till Alarmo
How long till the a jailbreak?
Lol had the same thought
can it run doom:
Alarmo
Nintendo lawyers are already foaming in their mouths.
I mean the firmware update procedure via USB has been found out, so it's only a matter of time
Yeah cant wait for this. Its one thing to mod a console or handheld but another thing entirely to mod a clock. Thats gonna be sicccccck!
When we hopping on the nintendo thermostat next 🔥🔥🔥🔥
A little sad the guardian theme isn't on the Zelda one
Im sure people will figure out how to mess with it
Perhaps it's reserved for the 20 minute late wake up tone?
It will probably start when you are late.
It seems to flow（I’m Japanese)
Oh, this is a little dopamine machine
I would get annoyed at the voice clips I think
7:22 It just yells "Get outta bed! Mario's waiting for you!"
Amazing how Nintendo of all the companies will get me to put a motion tracker in my room :p
Alarming price 😂
I wonder if Nintendo themselves leaked all the switch 2 stuff, so no one would notice them releasing the REAL switch 2: The Clock
this would be so cute for a kid
Yeah
And cute for a grown man 🧍♂️
10:58 thank you for showing the demos 👏👏👏
I'm gonna be honest i love this Idea so much that I'm tempted to pick one up even though i have no need for it
Back in my day, alarm clocks didn't scan our bodies and needed OCD levels of placement and distance and height measurements.
The only one I’d wake up to would be the bokoblin battle theme
I like the ui on this, gives me 3ds vibes with a mix of switch. maybe its a glimps into how the ui would look on the switch 2?
$100 for this still seems a bit steep. 50 seems more reasonable
75 if they want to make a bit more money off of it.
Just got to wait until they drop the price. I'm personally hoping for more color options later on before I consider.
Lol, you'll end up buying one, I've heard a hundred people today say the same thing, and within a couple hours already ordered one. Actually, most smart clocks are around this price.

that and they want a subscription
@@timothycrawford3476 oh you poor baby,a lot of clocks also don't require a SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE 😂
As someone who has ADHD, it's a bit weird at first getting used to it, but as soon as it started doing the chimes, I started feeling more calm and at piece
5:59 perfect music for the perfect situation ( any Mario kart fan will know ) *cough dsi*
13:02 there should have been a GUARDIAN theme. can you just imagine the PTSD? xDDDDD
there is, just wait 20 minutes past the alarm
The Great Fairy as an alarm?
Imagine if they had the BotW/TotK merchants sound effects when you buy, or sell, something! XD
I’m not an alarm user but i honestly want this
Can you please show how the hourly chime works at 16:36 ? Im wondering if its the same as Animal Crossing bell sound that happens every hour
amazing just ordered mine ! :-)
13:41 I would literally not get up so I could hear the entire song lmao
REAL
it may not have a round scream but it's great
so you don't need to be a nintendo member to purchase these nintendo online products? You can just go to the real world store to get these (and the exclusive controllers)?
Ye
Nintendo needs to make a Nintendo calculator next
This clock like a irl tutorial
At least I can get it next year, I really hated it when I saw the whole trailer and they said it was only for the US and Canada.
This honestly might make waking up and getting out of bed so much easier for me.
It’s also available in Europe for NSO subscribers
@@lumer2b
Oh that’s neat! I haven’t heard anyone say that, I assumed only US and Canada NSO subscribers got it early.
*G A R B O.*
I'm not even the biggest Nintendo fan and I still want one!
How bright is this thing at night? Or if you just want to check the time or something
I'm going to the store on Saturday hopefully they still have them
If not you can order it on their website (if you have switch online)
Well? Did it?
It's cute. Not as bad as I thought.
They totally missed the chance to double this as a Bluetooth speaker.
Lmao the guy taking in the ring fit adventure is so goofy 😭
Sleeping speed runs, let's goooo
I saw in another video that if you let the Mario timer go longer than 20 minutes, the song changes. My friends and I were wondering when the Breath of the Wild one goes for longer than 20 minutes, does it play the Guardian theme?
I see Splatoon alarm, i'll buy it.
$100 to not even use the main function is crazy
I'd definitely put this on my wishlist if it wasnt so expensive...
Thats so cool!
I have an Alexa echo that does similar things and it's voice activated, i can see the novelty in this but a standard Alexa is good enough for me 😊
I had to buy one of these from a store in Japan because I am not a Nintendo Switch Online Service member. So I will be able to set the alarm to English?
Yes
Interesting. So what if the internet gets shut down during the night? Will it still work?
Internet seems to only be used for updating and downloading new themes, won’t affect functionality at all
@@DanPar So it actually downloads and not stream? Good to know.
I can imagine this would be super handly for Pokémon Sleep if it helps, just imagine!
3:14 were dancing with the instructor with this one 🔥🔥🔥
1:20 THEY HAVE PIKMIN 4?! YAY!
Nice hands on! May I ask if Alarmo has the function that it can calibrate the time itself through the WiFi? Therefore we don't have to do it manually every once a while.
I’m pretty sure it does!
it makes pikmin noises. it makes pikmin noises.
The alarm should have come in different colors to match the themes.
Wow, you already have it.... such a chad
can't wait for the animal crossing update
proof people will buy anything
Wish i had money to drop $100+ on an alarm clock that i never even saw the trailer for😂. In all seriousness tho, Im glad that they have a regular mode for those with pets.

3:45 that region above the americas is wild 💀
9:03 No Navi HEY LISTEN! wasted opportunity
feel like there should be some sort of motion based mini game
How loud does it get? I’m a heavy sleeper 😂
Very loud, but different alarms vary. I tested out the pikmin groovy long legs alarm and it gets uncomfortably loud.
Bought one just to keep it in my office 😂😅
This is for me so I will buying it 👍
Same I like it
Is the screen on all night or can you turn it off?
The screen dims and turns off automatically after 10 seconds or so of inactivity. And you can change the brightness in settings.
The hurry up state will give me nightmares
Can't wait to get the.....oled version😂....if you can get sounds from the original donkey kong country, im getting it
100$ for an alarm you're not going to use as an alarm but just as a clock, nice
Is there a setting to turn off the character sounds and just have the music?
Guys if it wasn’t like $100 I’d totally buy it
this seems nice, i'll probably get one if i find it on sale/happened to have enough if i see one
I put on headphones to hear what I think I'm hearing more clearly. That faint music from Mario 3D Land and Nintendo Land, is that coming from the clock during menus, or did you just edit that in.
Just part of the video, sorry😬
@@DanPar That's a shame. No offence to you of course...but MAN, you really raised (and then lowered) my enthusiasm.
Im kinda disappointed they didn’t have the tick tick clock song from mk8 (or DS)
Also imagine having to enter the 2fa code on the clock to sign in lol, scrambling to enter it within 30 seconds number by number
how packed was the nintendo store? I wonder if it was just a few dedicated people running there or if there was a lot of hype
THANK YOU
Can you have it so the time isn't displayed during the night? I don't like knowing what time it is if I wake up in the night
If there’s no light hitting it, the screen dims and gets pretty dark so it shouldn’t be an issue!
This is super cute ! Might wait for a sale :O its rlly good to discourage from staying in bed
I like the splatoon alarm
I see everyone talking how it's missing good music or especially "the guardian theme" Has no one paid attention to Nintendo saying they plan to release more in the future? They're bound to release it, just wait. The clock JUST launched
