If you're wondering just how popular Nintendo's clock 'Alarmo' might be, well it seems it's now sold out in another location.
The Nintendo New York Store (which has been stocking the clock since its announcement) has taken to social media to confirm it's officially "sold out" of Alarmo. It's now asking customers to stay tuned for updates about when it will be back in stock. Fortunately, it still appears to be available on the My Nintendo Store in this region.
As highlighted yesterday, this follows Nintendo's My Nintendo Store in Japan hitting snooze on sales. Instead of standard orders, it will now be swapping to a 'lottery' style sale exclusive to Switch Online subscribers. It's also noted how it would continue to produce this new device in an attempt to deliver it to as many customers as possible.
Alarmo has apparently sold out at Nintendo's stores in Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto as well.
Countries like Australia and New Zealand are currently asking fans to register their interest in the clock on the local My Nintendo Store and in other places like the UK and Ireland, fans can purchase Alarmo right now.
Keep in mind, we don't actually know just how much Alarmo stock Nintendo has produced, but at the moment, it does seem many fans are eager to get their hands on this new device from Nintendo. Will you be getting Alarmo? Sound off in the comments below.

What did I say? What did I tell ya?
ALWAYS AN AUDIENCE.
My wife bought us one without me knowing. We aren't opening it, but she bought one. Lol
Odd product. It's gotta be for some data collecting for sure.
@IronMan30 Just open it! And enjoy it 😋

I wish I could find a better quality version of this, lol.
Can’t say it appeals to me, but obviously there is a demand for fancy alarm clocks
Question : Will you be getting Alarmo?
Me: No. For me, $100 can be used for purchasing several physical games to play.
So tempting. But I know it would drive my wife insane. And it's a tad too pricey to buy for the kids. I'd use it as a desk clock if I wasn't already using the Zelda and Mario G&Ws.
My Alarmo was shipped just earlier this evening. Again, I'm not surprised it's selling out. Amiibo should've taught us that fans will buy up whatever quirky, but quality product Nintendo makes, regardless of price.
Once they are all gone, we have to sound the Nintendo fan panic alarmo. We just have to.
How many of those sales are scalpers?
@Vivianeat I initially thought that too, but the product page claims that no data is transferred to Nintendo by it. (It's the double-asterisk note.)
I just hope this isn't an alarm about future availability.
I don't want to snooze on it because I'm seriously considering the idea of getting one by the time it arrives to Mexico (if it arrives to Mexico).
Well.. Is anyone really surprised?
I'll be buying one for sure.
It looks fun, and I'm a Nintendo simp so obliged by honour to buy it.
I wonder if it has some switch 2 connectivity planned? The dearth of content makes me think it'll be padded out mostly by Switch 2 games in future.
The 100 Euro price point is nothing for a lot of people too, so I'm sure it will sell well enough.
One way of trying to make a product sell is making consumers think this is in demand. The scalpels will be all over this! Looks so cheap!
Hope it's mostly if not exclusively (ha, as if the latter were actually possible) in the hands of people who genuinely wanted one and not of scalpers!
I went to that store last month, was visiting NYC to see a Bomb the Music Industry and Good Luck show. Was a lot smaller than I expected, or at least it had a lot less stock on shelves than I expected. The decor was lovely, but they could have packed a hell of a lot more in there.
I left with a fuzzy Pawmi and a little pink Pikmin.
Pretty sure Nintendo could release a microwave and it would sell out instantly. Actually, they could release just about any electronic product and it would sell decently.
@HammerGalladeBro I'm too, located in Mexico and while I don't have any plans to get it, I'm sure it will hit stores shelves soon.
And they are all over eBay for 100 to 150 pounds
If it wasn't for the crazy price I'd be tempted, I wouldn't pay more than £50 for it.
