Destructoid's dudes found this pretty swank retro Famicom Alarm Clock over at Think Geek. Best serving as a travel alarm, the clock features:
• Alarm clock looks like a classic NES (Famicom in Japan) Controller • Use the D-Pad and buttons to change modes and set the alarm • Alarm sounds from Super Mario Bros. • Built-in mini-game • Score high enough in the mini-game and unlock another alarm sound. • Built-in Stand • Dimensions: 5″ x 2″ x .8″ • Requires 2 AAA Batteries. Not Included.
I like the concept of a mini-game to unlock another alarm sound. I'm betting on the Zelda theme — that would certainly make for a rousing start to a bleary-eyed morning. It goes for $25, which isn't too shabby.
