Nintendo Alarmois one of the many surprises that Nintendo has come out with over the years. While the company is best-known for its game consoles and iconic video game franchises likeMarioandZelda, it also has a tendency to be inventive and creative, coming up with unusual releases like Nintendo Labo or Alarmo, or even unusual gaming peripherals, like the Wii Fit Board.
Nintendo has now announcedthat it’s partnering with Universal Studios to rent out Alarmo units to hotel guests. The partnership will be offered at all of Universal Studios Japan’s official hotels, with a total of seven participating. The offer began on February 3, though Nintendo has not announced an end date for it. Hotel guests will be able to rent out the Alarmo and a AC adapter for it at the front desk when they check in, after which they’ll need to set it up in their room themselves. There’s no mention of an additional fee fortrying out the Alarmo.

While some may see the Alarmo as a simple gimmick, it’s been quite popular with some fans, and tying it into the Univeral Studios Japan park makes some sense. The park is home to Super Nintendo World, and Nintendo encourages fans to use the Alarmo to wake up to a Nintendo-filled day before they head down to the park. There’s no announcement regarding bringing Alarmo to the western park counterparts, however. If such a collaboration happens, it might bewhen Univeral Studios Orlando opens Super Nintendo Worldlater in 2025.
