If you routinely pass out at night with a game controller in your hand, what better way to be awoken in the morning/afternoon than by another controller? This NES controller-shaped alarm clock will give you an appropriately nerdy start to every day, making you mash the A button to stop the Mario-themed alarm from blaring. It even comes with a "mini-game," making it live up to its shape, although the game involves just mashing the A button as fast as you can and then trying to beat your previous record. That's some game! If you've got hot button-mashing skillz and you get a high enough score, you'll unlock a new alarm sound. While this alarm clock might not feature fancy torture-related ways of getting you up, it's at least a unique twist on an otherwise standard item on your nightstand. It's available online now for $25. — Adam Frucci
