Nintendo launches a $100 sleep-tracking alarm clock | TechCrunch
Nintendo’s $100 Alarmo alarm clock was revealed as a surprise this week, and we already have a hands-on. It tracks your sleep, uses sounds from Mario and Zelda to help you fall asleep or wake up, and can even be snoozed with gestures. (video via @helloyashad)

Ok… But what separates this from my phone?… My phone can play music i give it and gets louder over time, it can play sleep sounds too. Is the feature if the sensor really worth 100?
Naaaaaaaah, dont buy things for a gimmick when you will just place it in a shelf within a year of purchase

Fans we want a Mini N64
Nintendo here’s a alarm clock with a camera that needs to be connected to the Internet 24/7 but don’t worry it’s not spying on you we promise.
Fans shut up and take my money.

Considering how unnecessarily nuclear they have gone with their copyright lately, I don’t think I will purchase another Nintendo product or continue to support the company in any way

Yeah right, if you dummies buy this crap you ain’t ever gonna get the switch 2 if they can literally sell an alarm clock for $100

Okay, I wanted one, but I don’t live in the US. So if it’s 100 USD there, it’ll be at least 150 USD where I am. If not more. So that’s a bummer. And a very expensive alarm clock.

I have sleep walking issues and it’s cheaper than what the market offers that’s similar. Pikmin sounds are a plus for me lol
