I used it for the first time this morning. The motion sensor was surprisingly good at getting me out of bed. It even detected if I tried to get back in.

Such an expensive gimmick, especially considering it’s primarily aimed for kids that can’t afford it.

For that price I would’ve expected it to have more features. Like maybe be able to use Amiibo figures to unlock more content. Or a ceiling projector to play Nintendo videos/animations or ambient lighting. Or if they’d go the extra mile, be able to project the Switch display.

Stovetop,

It’s a Christmas gift item. Everything “new” this time of year is targeted towards holiday shopping

PunchingWood,

I know, but it’s still such an expensive gift. I think many parents that buy gifts are more likely to spend that amount of money on multiple other gifts instead. And even for people with more money to spend it just seems a bit excessive. I know some people that would like this clock, but I (and others I know) would not pay like €100 for a gift clock with quite limited features lol

I feel like this thing could’ve easily be priced half, and it would still be kind of expensive. But at least a much bigger group of potential buyers would open up, and Nintendo would probably still make a huge profit out of it.

Stovetop,

Well, €/$100 is about how much people are paying for some new games these days, to put it in context. If someone is a Nintendo fan or a collector it’s not necessarily a hard sell at that price given that they probably have disposable income.

I’m not going to buy it (there was a time where I would though) but I do like all this kind of stuff from Nintendo.

$5 alarm clock for $100 because it says Nintendo, nice. Even with its extra features.

For $100 you can buy a phone with android 13, 70€ in a sale.

Will they now sue anyone that makes a round alarm clock? Fuck Nintendo
