- Nintendo’s Sound Clock: Alarmo will be available at participating retailers in March
- No Nintendo Switch Online membership required to purchase
- Nintendo confirms that the Alarmo will be in stores “while supplies last”, suggesting a limited sale
Nintendo has announced that its original Sound Clock: Alarmo will arrive at participating retailers worldwide in March 2025.
The news comes from the company’s latest social media post in which it was confirmed that the adorable piece of hardware will be available to everyone “in stores at participating retailers” in two months, and that no Nintendo subscription Switch Online is not required.
The Sound Clock: Alarmo first launched in October 2024 and required users to have a Switch Online subscription in order to purchase one online from the My Nintendo Store.
The device acts as an interactive alarm clock that detects movement upon waking and also plays iconic sounds from select games in Nintendo’s catalog, like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey, Splatoon 3and more.
The post also notes that the Alarmo will be available in stores “while supplies last,” suggesting the device could be a limited product with no restocking plan.

With Sound Clock: Alarmo set for release in March, it’s possible the device will receive an update to somehow be compatible with the Nintendo Switch 2 alongside its predecessor, but we’ll have to wait and see on that front.
Speaking of the next console, recent reports suggest that the Nintendo Switch 2 announcement could finally happen this week after months of leaks and rumors. VGC also indicated that the console will likely be revealed in a “two-part” format, with the first focusing on hardware features, while the second will offer an in-depth look at the software.
