Nintendo's quirky Alarmo alarm clock is set for a broader retail release in March 2025. Initially available only through Nintendo's website, and subject to purchase restrictions due to immense demand in Japan (requiring a lottery system), Alarmo will now be readily available at major retailers. While the exact date and participating stores remain unannounced, consumers can anticipate finding it at prominent retailers like Target, Walmart, and GameStop. For those eager to avoid waiting, Alarmo currently appears to be in stock on Nintendo's website (requiring a Nintendo Switch Online account).
The announcement, however, hasn't been universally celebrated. Many fans expressed disappointment, prioritizing news about the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 and upcoming game releases. While Alarmo is a unique product, its appeal is limited compared to the excitement surrounding new gaming hardware and software.
The path to wider availability highlights the product's unexpected success. Initially constrained by purchase limits, Alarmo's popularity in Japan forced Nintendo to shift from a lottery system to pre-orders in December 2024. However, even with pre-orders, Japanese customers won't receive their units until February, with general retail sales delayed beyond that unspecified date. The reasons for this delay remain unclear, possibly stemming from supply chain issues or a strategic global inventory management approach by Nintendo.
