Due to unexpectedly high demand, Nintendo has delayed the general release of the Alarmo alarm clock in Japan. Originally scheduled for February 2025, the launch is now postponed indefinitely.

Production Shortages Cause Delay
Nintendo Japan's website cites current production and inventory issues as the reason for the delay. While the global launch is still planned for March 2025, the impact on international stock remains unclear.

To address the immediate shortage, Nintendo is implementing a pre-order system exclusively for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers in Japan. Pre-orders are expected to open in mid-December, with shipments slated for early February 2025. Specific pre-order dates will be announced shortly.
The Popular Nintendo Alarmo
The Alarmo, a gaming-themed alarm clock featuring music from popular Nintendo franchises (Super Mario, Zelda, Pikmin, Splatoon, RingFit Adventure, and more), launched globally in October 2024. Its immediate popularity overwhelmed Nintendo, leading to the halting of online orders and a lottery system for remaining stock. The alarm clock quickly sold out in physical stores in Japan and New York.
