Default How's the 3DS alarm clock like?

I use my old DS alarm clock to wake me up every morning, as I don't own an actual alarm clock. I wonder if the 3DS has one and how does it look like. If it doesn't have one, I'll have to keep my old DS around me just for this one function.

not trying to sound rude but do you not own a phone or anything(i know you said you have no clock), iv never used the ds alarm function so im not sure how good it is but would yu not have to leave it open to use it.

sorry i couldnt actually answer the question

Now that you mentioned it, I never had payed attention if there was one. I'll check now.

*Just looked at my 3DS, and unless an update adds one, there is no alarm.
Check all the settings and menus and Nothing

If the system has a built in alarm then it would most likely be next to the time setting. If not, well, I'll just need to port my photo clock from my DSiXL now, won't I?

No alarm? DAMN!

But everything else makes up for the lack of... an alarm. So it's cool. I'll just have to use my old DS.

Hopefully, an update will re-introduce an alarm clock feature.

Yeah my response was simply going to be: "what alarm?"

Just use your old DS still, and consider your 3DS too good to be an alarm.

If the DS/DSi has an alarm function, I don't see why the 3DS shouldn't have one.

This is going to sound funny but I had no idea there was a alarm clock feature on DS and I love my DS to death to XD I more what to now if the 3DS will have the MP3 player I've seen in the Japan version in the U.S version.

The alarm probably because they have apps for that, and Pictochat because it wasnst really useful. I bet they are working on something that will be a lot better than pictochat.

I don't think they will add an alarm but you can get a dsi mario clock from eshop for like.. two bucks which DOES have an alarm function and you can even set the clock to be in 12 hour format.
