Gamers Want Switch 2 Announcement. Alarmo Presentation from Nintendo Fails to Inspire Widespread Excitement

As a dedicated Nintendo fan with years of gaming under my belt, I must admit that the Alarmo release has left me feeling somewhat perplexed and frustrated. While I appreciate the ingenuity behind this motion-activated alarm clock, it’s hard not to feel let down when what we truly yearn for is the much-anticipated Switch 2.


When Nintendo submitted a novel gadget to the U.S. Federal Communications Commission in September, people weren’t anticipating it to be an alarm clock. However, the unexpected device from Nintendo, dubbed Alarmo, reacts to user movements and enhances the alarm tune with additional sounds.

Players want Switch 2, not an alarm clock.

Some fans admired the reveal of Alarmo, promptly placing their orders for the Nintendo alarm clock. Yet, others are still anticipating the announcement of Switch 2. Lately, there have been an increasing number of leaks that hint at the design of Switch 2 or the potential date of its launch. Unverified sources claim that the official unveiling is likely to be in the future.

Under the Alarmo post, comments expressed some minor exasperation due to the scarcity of confirmed details about the Switch 2. Given Nintendo’s penchant for secrecy, inquiries and petitions for updates have been sprouting up under various Nintendo posts, even those concerning bonuses for Super Mario Party: Jamboree. It seems that not even a grandmother, whose freedom hinges on the announcement of the Switch 2, is immune to this anticipation.

The eagerness of the fans might be stirred up by the details revealed in the leaks. It’s likely that the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 will boast DLSS technology and 4K resolution, all thanks to the integration of Nvidia components. This upgrade also promises backward compatibility, allowing fans to seamlessly move from their existing Switch to the latest platform version.

Among Alarmo’s features, one has drawn criticism from some users. Although the motion sensor appears intriguing as a device, it seems that it can only effectively serve a single individual. As Alarmo senses the user getting out of bed, it shuts off the alarm. However, in cases where another person is sharing the bed, resetting the alarm clock would be essential to wake them up. A comment from an online user suggests that even an animal could potentially turn off the alarm by its movement if Alarmo detects it.

In theory, we need to enable “Button Mode” that disables the sensor. After this, pressing the button will turn off the alarm, making Alarmo function similar to an ordinary, traditional alarm clock, costing around several hundred dollars. However, do keep in mind that Alarmo can only be bought by players who have a Nintendo Switch Online subscription.
