We know that the Nintendo Switch 2 is launching next year, but the company has remained very quiet about what that console will look like. We don't even know for sure what the console will be called, but many fans expected that to end this month, as rumors swirled about the company revealing some new hardware at some point in October. Turns out those rumors were accurate, but nobody expected Nintendo to reveal a $100 alarm clock called Alarmo.
The Legend of Zelda would do well do rely on other smaller instalments in the future
A patent for motion tracking that was the source of these Switch 2 rumors ended up being for Alarmo, as the clock utilizes motion tracking to tell whether you're still in bed or not. Just like any fanbase that's been tormented with false announcements and updates for something that hasn't been heard from for a while (hello Silksongers), Nintendo fans are officially starting to break down.
After the reveal of Alarmo, you could almost hear the collective groans of every Nintendo fan that was expecting a Switch 2 announcement. There's a large variety of reactions to Alarmo on social media, most of them using memes...
