Nintendo Alarmo Sound Clock - The First 16 Minutes of Gameplay (...Sort of)

After months of rumors and waiting, Nintendo finally revealed its newest piece of hardware and… it’s an alarm clock. Sorry, an “Alarmo Sound Clock.” Yes, we were all hoping for a reveal of a next-gen Switch successor, too, but it is what it is. And “what it is” just so happens to be a wifi-enabled clock that features smart sleep-tracking functionality and authentic sound effects and animations from beloved games that will gradually wake the user up. You can see all that in the official reveal trailer that none of us saw coming, but if you want to know what the moment-to-moment experience of this latest Nintendo device is like, here you go. Raw, uncut, gameplay. Er. Not gameplay. There’s not really a word for what you call footage of a clock, but that’s what this video is. Are we kidding? Sort of, but not really. Maybe we’ll put up a review of the Alarmo Sound Clock at some point, but in the meantime, here’s one way to pass the time until Nintendo actually shows off a new device that’s actually used to play fun exciting video games, instead of, you know, a device that makes it slightly more fun to wake up for work or school at a designated time.

IGN gives this alarm clock a 7:00 out of 12:00.

If Nintendo could patent the time of day, they would.

[AlecLeigh]

a round clock with a square "screen". you can really tell they have put effort in to this.

[tencheenian]

after learning that the screen is not round and it is not OLED screen... willingnes to purchase go from 80% to 10%

People might laugh at this video, but this is far more interesting than most of the reviews and shorts that IGN normally makes.

IGN to the new intern: "hey can you make a video that shows the function of this new nintendo clock? Should be at least 16min long"

Intern: "no problem!"

16 minutes wasted hoping that the alarm would go off ...

Why is the audio a direct feed? It should be recorded from the speaker...

[timallenbrown]

The speedeun strats are gonna go crazy on this one

[djtomoy]

nintendo could have released a bag of gravel with mario’s face on it and you’d still be going mad for it making videos about it.

[LavendelFox]

Why did the camera slowly zoom in for this whole video?! 🤣🤣

[TheDragonGamer]

Finally a game where ign journalist are good at 😫😫

[kolkagaming]

This isn’t gameplay. That’s a very easy typo but it doesn’t matter.

[dylanrhoads]

This has nothing to do with Alarmo, it's just unrelated background music with a video of Alarmo. What's up IGN?

[just.me.]

Who needs a Nintendo vr headset when we have this clock.

[arunkumarbalakrishnan]

This is the kind of gameplay that Ryan McCaffrey can ace and give a 10/10, unlike Alien Isolation.

[originalgrness]

Would a been great if it was like an “April fools” joke and then reveal the Nintendo switch 2

[__babyface]

In the words of Cosmo from The Fairly Oddparents: "It's A Show About Nothing, How Do We Know When It's Over"?

[vinylscratch]

More gameplay than I've gotten all year out of my PS5
