Nintendo has announced that its quirky Sound Clock: Alarmo will be coming to participating retailers worldwide in March 2025.
The news comes from the company’s latest social media post, which confirmed that the cute piece of hardware will be available to everyone “in the stores of participating retailers” in two months, and will not require a Nintendo Switch Online membership .
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 when waking up and also plays iconic sounds from a number of games from Nintendo’s gaming catalogue, such as The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey, Splatoon3and 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 plans.

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