Nintendo’s Alarmo Set for Wider Release in March 2025
Nintendo’s popular Alarmo, which initially launched as an exclusive online purchase, will be hitting stores in March 2025. Fans have eagerly awaited the retail release after the device’s surprise debut and success in Japan.
The alarm clock, which became a hit despite limited availability, was initially restricted in sales, even using a lottery system in Japan due to overwhelming demand. Now, Nintendo has confirmed that Alarmo will be available at standard retailers without purchase restrictions. While the exact release date and participating stores haven’t been announced, major retailers like Target, Walmart, and GameStop are expected to carry it.
For those who can’t wait, Alarmo is still available for purchase on Nintendo’s website, but an NSO account is required. The news of its retail expansion has generated mixed reactions, with some fans disappointed by the lack of updates on the much-anticipated Nintendo Switch 2. However, the device’s popularity, especially in Japan, has prompted Nintendo to adjust its release plans, shifting from a lottery system to pre-orders for the upcoming months.
