Alarmo is a red cylinder with a rotund white button / knob on top and a 2.8-inch rectangular LCD display.

You can choose from 35 video game "scenes" to wake up to, which range from Zelda calmly saying “wake up” to the sound of a pikmin drowning.

It tracks your daily sleep times along with how long it takes you to actually wake up after your alarm goes off each day .

Alarmo is available to purchase early now for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers and will be released in early 2025 .

It looks and sounds the part, which is to say, it's incredibly charming and nostalgic.

But if you’re looking for something to help you wake up better than a run-of-the-mill alarm, this isn’t it.
