Online required is hilarious to see on a clock.

Trying to think of more ways they could make this absurdly annoying:

• If the alarm has been playing for too long, start playing the low health sound effect from Zelda
• If you have one minute left before you need to leave for school/work, play the “almost out of time” jingle from Super Mario
• Navi

What an unnecessary, silly project no one asked for. When can I order one outside the US?!? 😂

This is what Nintendo hardware engineers do to fill time when the Switch 2 is just a scaled-up Switch 1

It surprises me that Nintendo would think enough people would pay for this, but considering the tech in it, I doubt it could sell for cheaper at a profit. What people don’t realize is that there is a full on radar based health monitoring system in there that drives the price up. I expect this is a test bed for a future product that someone is trying to make back the R&D money.

This looks like a raspberry pi clock project, with a Mario theme - it’s not a terrible price if you don’t want to build it yourself (at least I think) - but I doubt you can customize like a self built one.

Also if you make your own you’ll probably get sued, so just don’t sell it I guess lol

does spending $100 on an alarm clock count as a literal interpretation of “go woke go broke”

So, it’s a Nintendo billboard in your bedroom, basically.

This seems a horrible way to wake up.

what an incredible way to ensure you physically cringe the entire time you play any nintendo game with the sound on

Impressive. They actually managed to make a product that makes AAA Clock on the Switch eShop look like a good deal.

Seriously though, cut the price in half and I’d MAYBE consider this as something of a Nintendo related novelty/“luxury” if I had the cash to burn. You can’t ever convince me (or most people) to pay $100 for a friggin’ alarm clock though.

I still find this quite weird.

Having an alarm clock that connects to the internet certainly isn’t something that I thought we needed.
