Nintendo’s latest update for their Alarmo device introduces exciting new themes from the beloved Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, adding a fresh twist to its existing lineup of themed scenes from acclaimed games. This update brings iconic tracks like Twisted Mansion, Bowser’s Castle, and Rainbow Road straight to fans’ morning routines. Moreover, Nintendo has also teased an upcoming update featuring Animal Crossing: New Horizons, keeping fans on their toes for what’s next.
Originally released with plans to expand in 2025, the Alarmo is not just any alarm clock. It’s a smart gadget that records sleep patterns and wakes you up with sounds from your favorite games, promising a more engaging morning. As Nintendo gears up for potential synergies with the speculated Nintendo Switch 2, the Alarmo might soon offer even more interactivity between Nintendo devices.
Announced via Nintendo’s social channels, the availability of seven Mario Kart 8 Deluxe scenes is a noteworthy treat for users. These themes, now downloadable as a free update, are set to make waking up a bit more thrilling with elements from grueling tracks like Twisted Mansion and Rainbow Road. Despite its $99 price tag, the Nintendo Alarmo was a hit when it initially launched, selling out quickly and emerging as a must-have item for gamers, especially with the festive season just around the corner.
The latest additions to the Alarmo have been met with excitement, with fans humorously speculating about waking up to the sound of the notorious Blue Shell. The extensive capabilities of the Alarmo continue to surprise, as shown by enthusiasts who have even managed to run Doom on the device. With a future update confirmed to include an Animal Crossing theme, fans have a lot to look forward to.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe remains a beloved title since its debut on the Nintendo Switch seven years ago, and fans are eager for news on the next installment. Some speculate that games like Super Mario Party Jamboree could offer key inspirations for Mario Kart 9, which many agree would pair nicely with a next-gen console like the anticipated Switch 2. However, with no official announcement on a successor console yet, fans might have to exercise a bit of patience.
