  Such an expensive gimmick, especially considering it’s primarily aimed for kids that can’t afford it.

  For that price I would’ve expected it to have more features. Like maybe be able to use Amiibo figures to unlock more content. Or a ceiling projector to play Nintendo videos/animations or ambient lighting. Or if they’d go the extra mile, be able to project the Switch display.

    It’s a Christmas gift item. Everything “new” this time of year is targeted towards holiday shopping

      I know, but it’s still such an expensive gift. I think many parents that buy gifts are more likely to spend that amount of money on multiple other gifts instead. And even for people with more money to spend it just seems a bit excessive. I know some people that would like this clock, but I (and others I know) would not pay like €100 for a gift clock with quite limited features lol

  $5 alarm clock for $100 because it says Nintendo, nice.

  For $100 you can buy a phone.

  I used it for the first time this morning. The motion sensor was surprisingly good at getting me out of bed. It even detected if I tried to get back in.
