    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

    Nintendo should have just made a alarm app since people use their phones as a alarm clock including me

    And you fools want a Switch 2 😂😂
    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
