Alarmo, Nintendo’s new interactive alarm clock, is available now in the UK if you’re a Nintendo Switch Online subscriber.
The gadget is priced £89.99 on these shores. Upon its surprise announcement yesterday, Nintendo also announced a $99 price point for the US.
Nintendo Sound Clock: Alarmo, to give the device its full name, is an interactive alarm designed to sit by your bedside. It includes alarm sounds and animations based around several top Nintendo franchises – including Mario, Zelda, Pikmin and Splatoon – to wake you up in the morning.

After eight years in development, Concord has arrived to muted fanfare, in a landscape already saturated by live-service games, and in the same week as breakout hit Black Myth: Wukong.
