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

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

00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:23.119
Nintendo has the answer the alarmo Nintendo sound clock also known as alarm

00:00:19.840 --> 00:00:25.359
clock what obviously my first thought

00:00:23.119 --> 00:00:30.480
when I saw the press release was what a weird thing for Nintendo to make right

00:00:28.199 --> 00:00:35.680
but if you think about it Nintendo has made all kinds of things that are not

00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:40.719
games and game consoles and an alarm clock far from the weirdest one let's

00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:44.320
take a closer look I remember reading an interview about it where they said they

00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:48.039
wanted it to look more friendly and less like a conventional alarm clock I'd say

00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:53.440
they've probably achieved that you've got a couple little rubberized feed on

00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:55.160
the bottom a USBC power port a Nintendo

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

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

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

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

00:01:12.080 --> 00:01:18.360
also got a mail button and back button

00:01:16.479 --> 00:01:22.960
let's get it set up Nintendo recommends pointing it toward the center of the bed

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

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

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

00:01:33.119 --> 00:01:39.479
your sleep which Nintendo assures you is never sent back to Nintendo's servers

00:01:37.759 --> 00:01:44.759
and it can allow you to silence or snooze your alarm by simply waving at it

00:01:41.520 --> 00:01:48.000
from in the bed or getting up but there

00:01:44.759 --> 00:01:49.799
is one small complication Belle if you

00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:53.439
would if you happen to be a Nintendo customer who isn't a child which

00:01:51.759 --> 00:01:57.799
Nintendo stubbornly refuses to acknowledge as a thing and you share

00:01:55.479 --> 00:02:02.600
your bed with another person the motion controls won't work because as no way

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

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

00:02:07.520 --> 00:02:12.239
do using the power of our sponsor

00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:17.160
Paradox who's featuring their new turn-based strategy game Age of Wonders

00:02:14.760 --> 00:02:20.920
4 while the end of the year feasts might be conquering your stomach you can rule

00:02:18.959 --> 00:02:26.000
over a Fantasy realm in this unique Forex turn-based Extravaganza you can

00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:33.480
alliances or with raw strength and with

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

00:02:40.480 --> 00:02:47.560
the link in the video description here we go it comes with five games

00:02:45.200 --> 00:02:52.120
pre-loaded what breath of the wild Odyssey and I think ringfit adventure

00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:56.200
and like two other ones but you can download more and there's a little

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

00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:05.680
that's fun select English yes the setting is okay

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

00:03:07.799 --> 00:03:14.000
sure can English is still okay though and now it wants today's date

00:03:12.440 --> 00:03:18.640
which in a world where time servers exist and this is a smart device feels a

00:03:15.959 --> 00:03:21.360
little bass Awards but sure turn the dial to razor lower the

00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:27.799
volume that is not a very loud alarm clock as someone who was a very sound

00:03:25.959 --> 00:03:31.760
teenage sleeper place the clock on a flat surface then move your body left

00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:36.680
and right okay uh all right Glenn things are about

00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:43.080
to get a little complicated I think I get the

00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:43.080
coins come on come on Mario get the

00:03:43.760 --> 00:03:52.000
coins yeah we thought other alarm clocks were insufficient so we did

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

00:03:54.840 --> 00:04:02.319
can tell when you move your body try lying in bed and then press the

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

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

00:04:11.079 --> 00:04:17.000
forever alone that's the Nintendo demographic there's two different modes

00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:22.240
for the alarm it can either be at a constant volume or it can escalate and

00:04:20.440 --> 00:04:26.759
apparently there's different characters that can show up to like try and Rouse

00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:29.759
you if you're like snoozing it too many times

00:04:30.039 --> 00:04:38.720
oh I have to keep moving sure next stop the Alarm by

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

00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:50.440
way hey all right it worked get back in bed

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

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

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

00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:09.160
alarm time supported so you can't just like have multiple alarms for different

00:05:07.320 --> 00:05:14.080
days of the week which um really

00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:22.160
anyway Links at a campfire no way no question it's kind of

00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:25.600
cute definitely cool but what I got to

00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:28.400
know Belle how much does this thing

00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:32.120
cost it costs $100 100

00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:36.680
bucks I feel like there are a lot of different lenses I could look through

00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:38.240
this from on the one hand $100 is very

00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:42.240
expensive for functionality that you're literally holding in your pocket right

00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:45.360
now on the other hand for a first-party Nintendo product I mean they've got

00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:49.720
plastic statues that literally don't have anything in them this was probably

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

00:05:51.520 --> 00:05:57.440
a collectible than it does as a functional product though with that said

00:05:55.000 --> 00:06:02.120
Nintendo did put a shocking amount of actual thought into it like they're

00:05:59.840 --> 00:06:06.520
treating it like a real product even though they kind of didn't really have

00:06:04.080 --> 00:06:10.440
to do that another cool thing and I don't take this for granted these days

00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:13.479
is that no Nintendo account is required in order to use the product we did set

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

00:06:15.960 --> 00:06:24.240
which for a product that is clearly intended mostly for kids is a definite

00:06:22.039 --> 00:06:29.080
plus Nintendo is not a perfect company but they are one that seems to take user

00:06:26.080 --> 00:06:30.560
privacy at least reasonably seriously

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

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

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

00:06:40.400 --> 00:06:44.160
