Alarm bells are ringing at Nintendo as public sales of the Alarmo are postponed. This is a result of stock shortages, so Nintendo is limiting the sale of the Alarmo to those owners that have an active Nintendo Switch Online membership. For the time being that is. As shared by VGC, Nintendo has postponed its plans to sell Alarmo to the general public. This animated alarm clock was a surprise announcement when it was unveiled. It features sleep tracking, funky music to wake up to and interactions with users when they wake up, encouraging some movement. Getting out of bed silences the alarm and snooze can be initiated with a gesture. There are currently alarms from five Nintendo games with more reportedly on the way in the future. For the time being the Alarmo sales restrictions are limited to Japan. It seems like Nintendo is struggling to manage its stock again. Similar to the Switch shortages felt in most of Asia and other parts of the world at release and again in 2020.
