Alarmo will wake you up to sounds of Mario coins and chirping Pikmin. It costs $100, works best if you sleep alone, and it\u2019s breaking the internet\u2019s collective brain. <\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-1needdh-1 gRtQsx\">\n<div class=\"sc-1needdh-0 dccRTD instream-native-video instream-permalink instream-native-video--mobile\">\n<div class=\"sc-1h0epat-0 crfeiW\">\n<div class=\"sc-1wkneyl-4 kDKXjm video-html5-playlist\" data-playlist=\"194644,192610,196698\" data-current=\"194644\">\n<div class=\"sc-1wkneyl-0 hAZDOz video-html5-loaded\">\n<div class=\"sc-1wkneyl-1 jShsAa video-html5-player\">\n<div class=\"sc-lhhce6-0 ldLvgq video-html5 autoplay muted mobile\" data-video-id=\"194644\" data-monetizable=\"true\" data-position=\"sidebar\" data-video-title=\"The Week In Games: Return To Hyrule\" data-video-blog-id=\"9\" data-video-network=\"kotaku\" data-video-duration=\"165\">\n<div class=\"sc-lhhce6-2 emBeiF video-top-bar\">\n<p>The Week In Games: Return To Hyrule<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><video disablepictureinpicture=\"\" muted=\"\" playsinline=\"\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" preload=\"none\" style=\"max-height:none\"><source data-src=\"https:\/\/vid.kinja.com\/prod\/194644\/194644_240p.mp4\" label=\"240p\" type=\"video\/mp4\"\/><source data-src=\"https:\/\/vid.kinja.com\/prod\/194644\/194644_480p.mp4\" label=\"480p\" type=\"video\/mp4\"\/><source data-src=\"https:\/\/vid.kinja.com\/prod\/194644\/194644_720p.mp4\" label=\"720p\" type=\"video\/mp4\"\/><source data-src=\"https:\/\/vid.kinja.com\/prod\/194644\/194644_1080p.mp4\" label=\"1080p\" type=\"video\/mp4\"\/><track kind=\"captions\" label=\"English\" src=\"https:\/\/kinja.com\/api\/videoupload\/caption\/20101.vtt\" srclang=\"en\"\/><\/video><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 fnnahv\">It ticks all the boxes: whimsical, eccentric, needlessly expensive, and bizarrely timed. For weeks, ever since Nintendo skipped its traditional September showcase, there has been background chatter suggesting that official news would finally be coming about the Switch 2 any day now. Instead, the company rolled out Alarmo without batting an eye. Pre-orders went live and have already sold out. Naturally, some people are trying to sell Alarmo, which doesn\u2019t ship until 2025, <span><a class=\"sc-1out364-0 dPMosf sc-145m8ut-0 erKGZM js_link\" data-ga=\"[[&quot;Embedded Url&quot;,&quot;External link&quot;,&quot;https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/matpiscatella.bsky.social\/post\/3l65vlfyhtp2c&quot;,{&quot;metric25&quot;:1}]]\" href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/matpiscatella.bsky.social\/post\/3l65vlfyhtp2c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">for close to double its standard price on eBay<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 fnnahv\">But the funniest part about Alarmo is that it doesn\u2019t work well for couples. The sensor that shuts the clock off when you get out of bed has trouble distinguishing when there are two people sleeping together. \u201cAlarmo can\u2019t detect a specific person, so if multiple people are sleeping in the same bed within range of the sensor, the alarm may stop when one person gets out of bed, but restart once it detects there is still someone in bed,\u201d <span><a class=\"sc-1out364-0 dPMosf sc-145m8ut-0 erKGZM js_link\" data-ga=\"[[&quot;Embedded Url&quot;,&quot;External link&quot;,&quot;https:\/\/en-americas-support.nintendo.com\/app\/answers\/detail\/a_id\/66618\/~\/nintendo-sound-clock%3A-alarmo-faq#s1q6&quot;,{&quot;metric25&quot;:1}]]\" href=\"https:\/\/en-americas-support.nintendo.com\/app\/answers\/detail\/a_id\/66618\/~\/nintendo-sound-clock%3A-alarmo-faq#s1q6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reads the FAQ<\/a><\/span>. \u201cThe alarm will stop completely once everyone is out of bed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-77igqf-0 fnnahv\">Sounds like fun.
