posted on by Ken Iikura-Gross
Nintendo's customer support in Japan announced on Wednesday that the general retail release of the Nintendo Sound Clock: Alarmo has been delayed in Japan, at least for people who aren't Nintendo Switch Online members. According to the Japanese Nintendo website, Alarmo was slated for retail sales in mid-February 2025. However, due to production and inventory concerns, the company is postponing the retail release in game shops and other stores.
The Alarmo has been still available for preorders exclusively to Nintendo Switch Online members on My Nintendo Store in Japan, with shipping still planned for mid-February 2025. Nintendo of America's website made no mention if the Alarmo would also be delayed overseas.
