Nintendo Sound Clock Alarmo™

You can download the animal crossing stuff for the clock with the NOS.
I just think the news is so hilarious. I kinda love it when Nintendo does something goofy like this because it throws everyone off.
As for the actual product, I feel like this is something that could have been an app on the following console. The Switch already has a motion sensor and a lot of people game in their bedrooms. I'm actually for having an alarm/reminder system on the Switch itself because I like the feature for Ring Fit. Additionally, it could be its own app like Pokemon Sleep.
I've also seen a twitter thread from someone using the clock and it's incredibly finicky. You need to have it a certain distance from your bed, which means you may need a bedside table. It needs to face you a certain way or else it won't work correctly. The LED screen is a rectangle, not circle shaped. The end product feels very underbaked.
It was very funny and I love memeing about it, but yeah, not buying.

I think it's too expensive tbh, and idk it just doesn't seem that great to me. Like it's cute but not $100 cute lol

After seeing someone on YouTube trying out Alarmo, I’m slightly more intrigued but the price is one of the things making me not want to get it right now. If the price drops or it goes on sale and I have the money on me then maybe I’ll get. The other issue is the location I HAVE to put the clock in my bedroom. The easiest outlet that I could put it is in a location that probably won’t work because it’s at the end of my bed and the only other place is the dresser and I need an USB plug and the outlet is far from the dresser and is about two feet away right next to the light switch.

Don't got a wish-list, I got a hit-list 📃🎄
Definitely not. It's kind of stupid, as you can set whatever sound you want on your phone alarm. If it's marketed towards younger kids, why is there a BoTW theme? It's a money grab that 100% isn't worth it. Also I'm not interested in motion sensors. So, what? You're going to sense the way I'm moving instead of giving me a big button to attack for waking me up from my precious sleep? Not for me at all.

My dad is giving me $200 for Christmas and even that isn’t enough motivation for me to get Alarmo. The concept is interesting and I do like the idea of Nintendo characters moving whenever you do but the cost is ridiculous and the things you must do to get it to work properly is ridiculous as well. I don’t have a nightstand and the small desk that I use as one isn’t right next to the side of my bed. It’s at the foot of my bed. I’m not rearranging my entire room for a clock!
