If you thought Nintendo's alarm clock was the most unexpected product it could launch this year, think again

Nintendo Music lets you stream hundreds of tracks from Nintendo games on your smartphone and it's a bit odd.

There's something truly admirable about the way Nintendo marches to its own beat. While Sony and Microsoft were jamming specs into their consoles to make the games look better and run smoother, Nintendo created the Switch, a handheld hybrid that has sold more than 143 million units.

While everyone is patiently waiting for Nintendo to announce the Switch's sequel, the Japanese gaming company keeps pumping out the most random products you could ever imagine. Like the Alarmo alarm clock that was announced early October.

Or Nintendo Music, which launched this week. If anybody had that on their Nintendo Bingo card for 2024, you win by default.
