Following a similar delay in Japan, Nintendo has announced they are postponing public sales of the Alarmo in the west.

As announced on social media, the general retail release for the Alarmo will now only happen in March 2025 for North America and Europe. The Nintendo-themed alarm clock is currently only available to purchase by Switch Online subscribers.
