For those of
you who wanted the first waking moment of your day to have something to do
with Nintendo, there was the Super Mario Bros. Talking Alarm Clock. Not
only did it tell time, but it woke you up by saying (in a bad Italian
accent) "Time to wake up! Time to leave dream land!" and playing
the theme song. Boy oh boy, Nintendo really cornered the market when it
came to people who had fantasies of waking up next to a fat Italian
plumber.
On a related
note, plans for a Ninja Gaiden alarm clock were cancelled when one of the
test clocks slit the throat of a kid for "the dishonorable act of not
waking up on time."
