Nintendo's latest hardware is Alarmo, a $100 motion-sensing alarm clock (not the Switch 2)

Nintendo revealed new hardware on Wednesday morning, but it wasn't quite the device everyone's been waiting for. Nonetheless, this alarm clock looks utterly delightful.

You can choose from dozens of scenes that are inspired by Super Mario Odyssey, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Splatoon3, Pikmin 4 and Ring Fit Adventure and set a wake-up time. The steady option will make the alarm more intense the longer you stay in bed (perhaps with an appearance from a certain arch-nemesis of Mario if you keep ignoring it). "We knew that the theme was to support people during their sleep, and we were looking for a way to achieve this," said Yosuke Tamori, a producer for Alarmo who previously worked on the original Splatoon and Nintendo Labo.
