Awesome! This makes me happy knowing Nintendo isn’t going to abandoned Alarmo.

I own an Alarmo. If you want a quirky Nintendo themed alarm clock it works brilliantly. The sounds and music do not annoy me or make me hate the games they are from.

It is expensive for what it is, but honestly I think in years to come it will be a sought after collectors piece.

Rewind to the end of 2017 and Mario Odyssey had just released and Nintendo released this, I think it would have sold like hot cakes! I just think the timing has put a damper on it.

@N00BiSH This is my first Mario and Luigi and so I tried the 3DS games and I prefer the Switch way for Luigi.

I understand people used to the old system prefer it, but I prefer the new method (although they should have given you options)

Let’s not forget Microsoft and Sony both have digital loyalty schemes. I doubt Nintendo will ditch all together, I think they will have new schemes that make sense.

Don’t be fooled Nintendo still wants the 100% profit on first party digital games sold

Will there be an Animal Crossing New Horizons update to include Alarmo at the same time as they add AC to Alarmo?

Clearly Nintendo is not willing to pay more than $0.5 for a third party game to put on NSO, so I think there needs to be a hybrid system.

Let Nintendo stock up NSO with their first party games and rubbish NES roms which clearly have no license anymore, and let Capcom and Konami and others sell us retro games that can be added to NSO libraries.

I think for this generation instead of arcade collections and Arcade Archives, let us add these to NSO in a virtual arcade. Your Mii would walk around and interact with the cabinets. And so the players can purchase them like we do now but it would integrate into NSO.

I sure hope so this is my # 1. But do you want to play star fox joy-con mouse?

Back to 2017, waiting for the Switch and Mario Run comes out.

@-wc- There is probably a deposit so people don't walk out with them.

When I go to Universal I will bring my own Alarmo

$400 is the sweet spot. This thing will be sold in vast quantities and at $500 only the hardcore will buy it.

Nintendo probably has no intention of lower the price in the future so they need to at what a grandma at Wallmart will pay for little Johnny’s Christmas.

EA had plenty of opportunity with Switch one but generally didn’t bother. I scratch my head and think of so many games that could have been made but EA just sat back.

I am sure the string of flops on more powerful hardware has finally shown the light!

It's going to be social media only. Nintendo is probably working flat out to do the April direct, I don't know they have the capacity to do one in Feb. I don't think they have enough Switch 1 games to announce to warrant a direct.

I didn't get in, but honestly I am happy to wait for the system in my house.

@dr-ghost Rare replay would kill on Switch but unlikely with NSO as it is.

Nintendo Switch 2 - This is an Xbox.

Microsoft rubbing their hands, “EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT!”

I don’t think Nintendo is going to sell 20 million to early adopters alone. Remember next April The Super Mario Movie 2 comes out. By then Florida, California and Japan will all have Super Nintendo World theme Parks.

Mario Kart 9 will be out and Nintendo is looking to hit the ground hard!

I don’t believe a price drop is in their plans. I think at least for the first few years they will have a cascading price strategy.

£389.99 Switch 2
£309.99 Switch OLED
£259.99 Switch
£199.99 Switch Lite

I hope Sea of Thieves comes, it’s already come to PlayStation and I am guessing it’s the specs of Switch 1 holding it back.

Maybe the new devs did the credits and the producer didn’t see it.

I think sales will be unaffected by the leaks, the real casualties of the leaks were the core Nintendo fans who love to be surprised and delighted by Nintendo reveals.

I don’t begrudge Nate the Hate but honestly it did hurt my enjoyment of the reveal.

New console, new theme parks, new movie in next year, I just wish I was able to stock back in 2015.

@Woodyshoe So far not working, since it's a lottery we got plenty of time to register.

@PushMyGran86 That Mario Kart will likely cost $70

I am hoping for no more than £400 UK money. I think £379.99 would be ideal.

Switch 2 - £379.99
Switch OLED - £309.99
Switch - £259.99
Switch Lite - £199.99

I noticed allot of sound effects used were Labo sounds. Making use of those Labo assets.

This was the last article posted by Nintendo Life before Switch 2 was officially revealed! I was here 2025.

You know you can drive to these places from Scotland and Wales.

@VHSGREMLIN Iwata asked for this.

I think it would brilliant if Karen came back for her roof top party with the Switch 2

Back in 2015 I told my wife to BUY Nintendo stock, I knew you can never count out Nintendo, she wouldn't agree. =(

I bought an Alarmo, and I can't imagine a parent dropping £90 in Smyths to buy this for their kid as an alarm clock.

I figured the issue is low sales, but the article says good sales, I hope that means after Animal Crossing we get more games and features! I want 10-15 min sleep sounds!

If your holding on to April for release, I wouldn't!

Nintendo seems in no hurry to announce this system and as a result they could very well announce in March, which makes April impossible for them.

It's going to be a reverse Wii U and the Switch will cast to the dock and allow two screen play. Maybe we will even get a Nintendo Land 2?

Lego Super Mario with the app is like in real life Mario Maker. You create a course, set a timer and your goal is to collect as many coins as possible before getting to the flagpole before time runs out. There are mini games as well including boo’s hunt and treasure hunt.

Mario Kart adds another form of play with sounds and effects from Mario Kart and you challenge your friends in a race. There are track power ups and when your finished some ice cream to eat!

Switch games are selling better than game of the year. Should tell you something about the Game Awards.

I am on team cast for the C button, reverse Wii U functionality seems the likely gimmick. Imagine a map on the Switch screen while playing Breath of the Wild 4K making inventory and so much quicker.

I have been to the park in California, it was small in size, having a second area would do allot. The secret to Nintendo World isn’t the rides it’s the IRL mini games and coin collecting.

The whole park is a giant real life Mario Party with competition, leaderboards, score chasing and even boss battles.

With the Power-up band and the app there are tons of stamps to collect (think of Mario 3D World) and some are genuinely challenging! Some require multiple visits at different times per year.

Adding Donkey Kong to the lineup of challenges and collectibles is super exciting, it literally is Nintendo World DLC!

I don’t know for sure but I would imagine Donkey Kong Minecraft ride adds new collectibles and challenges with the power up band.

Whoever hired these idiots of Hasbro needs to fire them immediately! First the terrible Transformers One movie and next this abomination!

Make a good toyline, no need for celebrity gimmicks. Make cool transformers for adult collectors, put them in actual shops and stop with this waste of time.

I think Nintendo wants to add Animal Crossing before they release it.

I am not a big Donkey Kong platformer fan, but I preordered from the My Nintendo Store with the extra bits.

I am just buying a game of month for Switch, although GI Joes and Legos are also calling, yes I am a grown arse man.

I am not much of a DK platformer fan, but I am going to have a real go with Returns HD. I think the UK store offers are pretty cool to go with it.

Not that long ago any Nintendo fan would be shocked if I said we were finishing this year with TWO Mario & Luigi games on Switch. I think given it's a new developer, that the game has as much as it does and is a bloody miracle it's even been made at all, I think a 9/10 is warranted almost for that fact alone!

Buy this one kiddies or don't whine when Nintendo doesn't do it again.

I think they will be shadowdropped in a Direct but not sure if the direct will be Jan or Feb

These are brilliant, I just wish Nintendo would print in English.

September 2025 - my guess.

I am more than happy with the drip feed. There is enough current core songs to keep me going and the new stuff kind of reminds me to go play those games again.

I guess they are holding em back for Switch 2 Online along with GameCube. Expect a price hike for the new console.

It is a shame Tom Clancy couldn’t be around to write the Ubi games into epic movie franchise. It could have the avengers of the Action war genre.

You know the real fun of Super Nintendo World is the mini games and activities around the park you interact with the power up band. There is so much to collect on the app.
