Nintendo's highly anticipated Alarmo alarm clock will see its Japanese retail launch delayed due to unexpected high demand and insufficient stock. Further details regarding the postponement are outlined below.
Japanese Alarmo Release Delayed
Nintendo Japan has announced a postponement of the general sale of the Alarmo, initially scheduled for February 2025. This decision stems from current production limitations and insufficient inventory to meet the overwhelming demand. While the new release date remains unannounced, the company is currently prioritizing fulfilling existing orders. There's no indication yet whether this will affect international availability, currently slated for March 2025.
As an interim solution, Nintendo is implementing a pre-order system exclusively for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers in Japan. This pre-order period is planned for mid-December, with shipments expected in early February 2025. The precise pre-order start date will be announced shortly.
The Nintendo Alarmo: A Popular Success
Launched globally in October, the Alarmo—a gaming-themed alarm clock featuring iconic melodies from franchises like Super Mario, Zelda, Pikmin, Splatoon, and Ring Fit Adventure—quickly gained immense popularity. This unexpected surge in demand prompted Nintendo to halt online orders and transition to a lottery system. The Alarmo promptly sold out in Japanese Nintendo stores and even the New York flagship store.
