Nintendo Pauses My Nintendo Store Japan Alarmo Sales Due To Overwhelming Demand

Nintendo Japan has announced they will be suspending the sale of Nintendo Alarmo on the My Nintendo Store in Japan.

According to a post on Nintendo’s X/Twitter account, Nintendo will be stopping the sale of Alarmo via the My Nintendo Store due to “a large number of orders”. Furthermore, Alarmo sales conducted through the My Nintendo Store will be switched to a lottery system moving forward. Although not explicitly mentioned, it is likely that Nintendo is doing this due to low Alarmo stock, presumably because they did not anticipate such high demand for the device.

“Due to a large number of orders for “Nintendo Sound Clock Alarmo” released on October 9th, we have currently stopped selling it on the My Nintendo Store. Therefore, we are preparing to change the sales method on My Nintendo Store to lottery sales for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers, so please wait for a while.

“We apologize for the inconvenience that not all customers can purchase this product. In order to deliver the product to as many customers as possible, we will continue to gradually move forward with production.”
