@beardalaxy It's literally that "Quality of Life" device that Iwata was hinting at, over a decade ago. I always thought that thing was swept under the rug after he passed away. It seems like they still honored Iwata's word even though Nintendo became profitable again.
Literally the only thing that sets this thing apart from other clocks (besides the downloadable themes) is that it uses a motion sensor to detect you getting out of bed as the way to shut the thing up.
Though if Nintendo truly wants to branch out from video games and actually have an innovative clock, they need to market this to everyone, not just Nintendo fans. Maybe in the future, there will be downloadable themes based on movies and other stuff, but this just looks like some generic Nintendo merchandise with a stupid gimmick.
