Nintendo's surprise hit alarm clock, Alarmo, is finally hitting retail shelves in March 2025. This follows its initial release as a Nintendo website exclusive, a launch that caught many off guard. Despite its unexpected arrival, Alarmo's popularity quickly soared. Initial purchase restrictions, limiting the number of units per customer, proved insufficient to meet demand, leading to a lottery system in Japan to further control sales.
Now, Nintendo confirms a wider release with unrestricted purchasing in March. While specific dates and retailers remain unannounced, major chains like Target, Walmart, and GameStop are likely candidates, given their typical stocking of Nintendo products. For those eager to avoid the wait, Alarmo currently appears to be in stock on Nintendo's website (requiring a Nintendo Switch Online account for purchase).
Mixed Fan Reactions to Alarmo's Wider Availability
The announcement has received a mixed reception. Many fans expressed disappointment, prioritizing news regarding the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 and upcoming game releases. While Alarmo is a unique novelty item, its non-gaming nature leaves some core fans wanting more substantial updates on Nintendo's future console and game lineup.
This broader release might still leave some feeling frustrated. In December 2024, due to overwhelming demand in Japan, Nintendo shifted from a lottery system to pre-orders. However, these pre-orders won't ship until February, with general retail sales delayed beyond February, the specific date yet to be revealed. Whether this delay stems from supply chain issues specific to the Japanese market or a broader global supply management strategy remains unclear.
