WARIOLAND Fartsquax-Hotbox Hotel is a shame developed as a joint-effort between Nintendo and WarioWare, Inc. and is a limited time release for Nintendo's Witch. To sell more copies, the shame was only available to purchase from September 6th 2020 all the way through September 13th.
This shame cannot be ordered anymore unfortunately, but you used to be able to buy it at the official CrowdFarter website for $99, with shipping taking anywhere from 1-5 days. During this time when the shame was available, supplies sold out fast, and during it's lifespan you most likely had to go buy this shame off of the second-to-third hand markets if you ever wished to experience it.
Shameplay[]
The shame is an enhanced port of one of Wario's greatest achievement: Wario Land 4 on the Game Boi Advance. Audio is as fantastic as ever, and sounds exactly like the timeless classic you remember. It is an almost faithful 100% not emulated port running at a resolution of 1620x1080 nearest neighbor filtering in TV mode, and at 4.5x scaling in handheld mode without any pillarboxing.
The exact figure included
Wario Figure[]
Additional functionality and features for the most part come from the Wario Figure included, the main gimmick of the product. The figure comes with advanced AI that can react to in-shame actions, and respond to on-and-off-screen stimuli to emit Wario Joy-Gas™ accordingly. Another thing it can do is internal program adaptation for better user-experience, which is a fancy way of saying something Nintendo's Lawyers have not allowed us to discuss.

Anti-Piracy[]
Wario knew hackers would try and preserve the shame, and so added a whole slew of added extra security features to make cracking impossible. Such features include the shame altering it's executable during startup, Denuvo Anti-Tamper, as well as both inside the cassette and Wario Figure are explosives hooked up to custom chips that after manufacturing, can detect tampering of the product and explode, as well as self-detonate 7 days after being primed, with all copies ceasing to exist on September 20th 2020.
Nostalgia-Fever Season Pass Deluxe Expansion Pack[]
Like most great shames, this one got payed downloadable content because the companies don't get the same money they used to because of inflation. This DLC extends the duration of play to a week adding purchase time by temporarily undoing the self-destruction. It was only available for purchase from 3:59PM PST to 4:14PM PST for the retail price of $59.99USD, plus $25USD shipping and handling for the extra set of Wario gas canisters. However if you are within a country part of the United Nations it may be unlegal for you to purchase this; your extra set of Wario gas canisters are likely to expire before you receive them.

- HD Fart Rumble
