Nintendo Sound Clock: Alarmo is Now Available Without Switch Online Membership in the US
Nintendo continues to expand its lineup of unique gaming accessories with the release of the Nintendo Sound Clock, Alarmo.
As of February 22, 2025, Nintendo has made Alarmo accessible to every My Nintendo Store user in the United States, no Nintendo Switch Online membership required.
This move follows a period of limited regional availability and highlights Nintendo’s ongoing commitment to making its hardware innovations accessible to a wider audience.
Alarmo: A Unique Sound Clock for Nintendo Fans
First introduced in select regions earlier this year, Alarmo is a specialized sound clock that features a range of musical alarms and themes inspired by some of Nintendo’s most iconic franchises.
The device retails for $99.99 USD and can now be ordered directly through the My Nintendo Store and Best Buy in the US, while supplies last.
Previously, purchasing Alarmo required an active Nintendo Switch Online membership, but Nintendo of America has officially announced that this restriction has been lifted for the US market.
In a statement, the company confirmed: "Nintendo Sound Clock: #Alarmo is now available on My Nintendo Store, no Nintendo Switch Online membership required.
Available while supplies last."
Features and Themes Celebrate Iconic Nintendo Titles
Alarmo stands out for its integration of music and themes from beloved Nintendo Switch games.
Users can choose from alarm themes inspired by titles such as Super Mario Odyssey, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Splatoon 3, and an all-new theme based on Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
These features cater to dedicated Nintendo fans and collectors looking to bring a piece of their favorite franchises into their daily routines.
The clock requires a Wi-Fi connection to receive software updates, ensuring ongoing access to the latest scene and theme updates from Nintendo.
This connectivity helps maintain the clock’s relevance as new game themes and music become available.
Global Availability and Regional Release Details
While US customers can purchase Alarmo immediately, the rollout in other regions has faced delays.
In Europe, for example, the wider launch that was originally planned for mid-January has been pushed back to early March 2025.
Nintendo recommends buying early as the device is sold on a "while supplies last" basis, reflecting its limited production and high demand among collectors.
For those looking to purchase Alarmo, it is currently available for $99.99 USD through the My Nintendo Store and participating retailers like Best Buy in the US.
No membership to Nintendo Switch Online is required, opening access to a broader customer base.
With its exclusive themes from flagship Switch titles and a growing catalog of musical options, Alarmo solidifies Nintendo’s tradition of innovative, fan-focused hardware.
As it becomes more widely available, Alarmo is poised to become a must-have collectible for Nintendo enthusiasts in 2025.
