About Nintendo Sound Clock: Alarmo:
Make waking up fun with Nintendo Sound Clock: Alarmo™ – Introduce a little play to your wake-up routine with Alarmo, the interactive alarm clock from Nintendo! Start the day off right with fun animations, sounds, and characters from some of your favorite games. You can even snooze the alarm with gestures and end it by getting out of bed, thanks to Alarmo’s motion sensor.
- How does it work? – Select a title, pick a scene, set a time, and let Alarmo handle the rest. In the morning you’ll experience immersive sounds and music from the scene you picked, followed by a game element arriving to help wake you up!
- Before the alarm – A character from the title you selected waits patiently on screen.
- Alarm begins – Gentle sounds unique to the scene you’ve chosen begin to play.
- A visitor arrives – After a few seconds, someone (or some thing!) from the scene you picked will appear. Wave your hand or move your body to make the clock quieter. Depending on the title you’ve choosen, you might also hear coins or other familiar game sounds when you interact with Alarmo.
- A brief snooze – Eventually, your visit will end and gentle sounds will play again until your visitor returns. (This will repeat a number of times if you stay in bed.)
- Time to get up! – If you stay in bed too long, your alarm will get more intense and you’ll get a visit from someone more persuasive!
- You did it! – When you get all the way out of bed, the alarm will stop and you’ll be treated to a brief victory fanfare—hoorah!
