1
00:00:00,959 --> 00:00:09,320
ah what in the world was that maybe I can use my other both of my phones

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:14,879
exploded what on Earth will I do when I need to wake up in the morning aha

3
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:23,119
Nintendo has the answer the alarmo Nintendo sound clock also known as alarm

4
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:25,359
clock what obviously my first thought

5
00:00:23,119 --> 00:00:30,480
when I saw the press release was what a weird thing for Nintendo to make right

6
00:00:28,199 --> 00:00:35,680
but if you think about it Nintendo has made all kinds of things that are not

7
00:00:33,399 --> 00:00:40,719
games and game consoles and an alarm clock far from the weirdest one let's

8
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:44,320
take a closer look I remember reading an interview about it where they said they

9
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:48,039
wanted it to look more friendly and less like a conventional alarm clock I'd say

10
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:53,440
they've probably achieved that you've got a couple little rubberized feed on

11
00:00:50,039 --> 00:00:55,160
the bottom a USBC power port a Nintendo

12
00:00:53,440 --> 00:01:01,359
logo on the back what looks like a speaker Grill is this the snooze button man that

13
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:05,799
is an enticing looking snooze button and the best part you don't even need to use

14
00:01:03,399 --> 00:01:09,880
the snooze button it has a motion sensor and you can just gesture at it in order

15
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:16,479
to snooze we'll talk a little bit more about the motion sensor later but we've

16
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:18,360
also got a mail button and back button

17
00:01:16,479 --> 00:01:22,960
let's get it set up Nintendo recommends pointing it toward the center of the bed

18
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:26,600
and having it no more than 8 in above the head of the sleeper this allows it

19
00:01:24,759 --> 00:01:30,880
to use its motion sensor for a variety of things it can track when you are in

20
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:35,680
bed so the alarm won't go off if you're not home it can track your movement in

21
00:01:33,119 --> 00:01:39,479
your sleep which Nintendo assures you is never sent back to Nintendo's servers

22
00:01:37,759 --> 00:01:44,759
and it can allow you to silence or snooze your alarm by simply waving at it

23
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:48,000
from in the bed or getting up but there

24
00:01:44,759 --> 00:01:49,799
is one small complication Belle if you

25
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:53,439
would if you happen to be a Nintendo customer who isn't a child which

26
00:01:51,759 --> 00:01:57,799
Nintendo stubbornly refuses to acknowledge as a thing and you share

27
00:01:55,479 --> 00:02:02,600
your bed with another person the motion controls won't work because as no way

28
00:02:00,079 --> 00:02:05,520
knowing which person is I don't know waving at it or getting out of the bed

29
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:10,520
or doing whatever else but enough about what it can't do let's see what it can

30
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:12,239
do using the power of our sponsor

31
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:17,160
Paradox who's featuring their new turn-based strategy game Age of Wonders

32
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:20,920
4 while the end of the year feasts might be conquering your stomach you can rule

33

alliances or with raw strength and with

36
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:37,920
their new event system the world continuously evolves depending on your

00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:42,720
actions the best part is you can play for free from November 7th to 11th at

38
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:47,560
the link in the video description here we go it comes with five games

39
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:52,120
pre-loaded what breath of the wild Odyssey and I think ringfit adventure

40
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:56,200
and like two other ones but you can download more and there's a little

41
00:02:53,959 --> 00:03:00,480
tutorial here okay let's have a look we twist the knob we push the knob oh

42
00:02:58,599 --> 00:03:05,680
that's fun select English yes the setting is okay

43
00:03:03,519 --> 00:03:10,159
yes you can use the back button if you want to go back to the previous screen I

44
00:03:07,799 --> 00:03:14,000
sure can English is still okay though and now it wants today's date

45
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:18,640
which in a world where time servers exist and this is a smart device feels a

46
00:03:15,959 --> 00:03:21,360
little bass Awards but sure turn the dial to razor lower the

47
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:27,799
volume that is not a very loud alarm clock as someone who was a very sound

48
00:03:25,959 --> 00:03:31,760
teenage sleeper place the clock on a flat surface then move your body left

49
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:36,680
and right okay uh all right Glenn things are about

50
00:03:34,159 --> 00:03:43,080
to get a little complicated I think I get the

51
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:43,080
coins come on come on Mario get the

52
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:52,000
coins yeah we thought other alarm clocks were insufficient so we did

53
00:03:49,319 --> 00:03:56,920
this did I get the coin I somehow got the coin okay the clock's motion sensor

54
00:03:54,840 --> 00:04:02,319
can tell when you move your body try lying in bed and then press the

55
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:06,200
button for next how the hell am I supposed to do that do I need a helper

56
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:13,400
to set this thing up I mean I guess I probably have a parent to help me with it right CU I had sleep alone kids and

57
00:04:11,079 --> 00:04:17,000
forever alone that's the Nintendo demographic there's two different modes

58
00:04:15,439 --> 00:04:22,240
for the alarm it can either be at a constant volume or it can escalate and

59
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:26,759
apparently there's different characters that can show up to like try and Rouse

60
00:04:24,639 --> 00:04:29,759
you if you're like snoozing it too many times

61
00:04:30,039 --> 00:04:38,720
oh I have to keep moving sure next stop the Alarm by

62
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:45,520
getting out of bed I'm going to throw it for a loop I'm going to get out this

63
00:04:42,639 --> 00:04:50,440
way hey all right it worked get back in bed

64
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:55,840
look at this thing you can't tell me what to do you're not my real dad

65
00:04:53,440 --> 00:05:00,160
alarmo this is the most fun I've ever had setting up an alarm clock I will say

66
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:05,240
that okay that is one compl that I've seen about this thing there's only one

67
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:09,160
alarm time supported so you can't just like have multiple alarms for different

68
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:14,080
days of the week which um really

69
00:05:11,759 --> 00:05:22,160
anyway Links at a campfire no way no question it's kind of

70
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:25,600
cute definitely cool but what I got to

71
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:28,400
know Belle how much does this thing

72
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:32,120
cost it costs $100 100

73
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:36,680
bucks I feel like there are a lot of different lenses I could look through

74
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:38,240
this from on the one hand $100 is very

75
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:42,240
expensive for functionality that you're literally holding in your pocket right

76
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:45,360
now on the other hand for a first-party Nintendo product I mean they've got

77
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:49,720
plastic statues that literally don't have anything in them this was probably

78
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:52,800
more work than an amiibo and like an amiibo I feel like it has more value as

79
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:57,440
a collectible than it does as a functional product though with that said

80
00:05:55,000 --> 00:06:02,120
Nintendo did put a shocking amount of actual thought into it like they're

81
00:05:59,840 --> 00:06:06,520
treating it like a real product even though they kind of didn't really have

82
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:10,440
to do that another cool thing and I don't take this for granted these days

83
00:06:08,199 --> 00:06:13,479
is that no Nintendo account is required in order to use the product we did set

84
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:18,639
one up so that we could download new themes and stuff but you don't have to

85
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:24,240
which for a product that is clearly intended mostly for kids is a definite

86
00:06:22,039 --> 00:06:29,080
plus Nintendo is not a perfect company but they are one that seems to take user

87
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:30,560
privacy at least reasonably seriously

88
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:33,840
beyond that there's not really much for me to say if you're the kind of person

89
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:38,599
who wants one of these you already know who you are and if you're the kind of person who thinks this is phenomenally

90
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:41,639
stupid you know who you are too and I know who I am I'm the guy who's going to
