Samus sales to skyrocket in Russia

 

[Cyd0nia]

Are we sure the storage hasn't been reprogrammed to match the content of an NFC based metro card? Like an oyster card?

 

[NotLiquid]

Malkovich authorized her.

 

[Principate]

Come on, is there an actual video because that picture can be easily faked.

edit: good lord it there actually was!

I'd assume that's what it is.

Click the link in the OP.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

I thought this was going to be like a celebrity appearance, where you have someone from Masterchef or The Apprentice switching on the town Christmas lights.

 

[moolamb]

Hahaha, didn't even need to shoot.

Nintendo's master plan.

 

[chadskin]

Meanwhile at Nintendo HQ, millions of Amiibos are being prepared for shipment to Moscow.

 

[Banana Aeon]

Oh shit.

Samus Russian prices to skyrocket.

Couldn't they have cut their regular card into a circle and glued it to the bottom? #teamfake

 

[wiibomb]

only the best amiibo could work on things other than games..

GG Samus

 

[Wesker28]

Hahaha amazing!!!

 

[7DollarHagane]

I bet they opened it up and put a different NFC chip or RF chip in there.

First post material. 10/10

 

[Sentenza]

The more I read about Amiibos, the less I can understand why they are popular and welcomed as a nice thing.

 

[LiamR]

Could have just opened it up and replaced the NFC chip fairly easily, but neat nonetheless, I guess?

 

[Principate]

Click the link in the OP.

Yeah I did straight after I posted the reply. I assume the chip was replaced.

 

[Kurtofan]

Adam Malkovich: unauthorized

 

[Alcotholic]

I wonder how people find these things out?

 

[Gino]

Pretty funny. Though I wonder if the amiibo has been modified.

 

[Kariodude]

So you're saying I can use a Moscow Metro ticket and have a Samus Amiibo in Smash?

 

[Keyser Soze]

Russia wont mind until Samus reveals she is female

 

[7DollarHagane]

I could do the same thing with my badge at work. It uses a similar technology.

It would be kind of fun to use a samus amiibo to get in the door at work, lol.

 

[Crossing Eden]

That's so weird. How did this happen? How did they even find out, were they just walking around using Samus Amiibos on random things?

 

[DarkTom]

Lol I guess it won't work in front of controling guys, but still very funny.

 

[Gino]

The more I read about Amiibos, the less I can understand why they are popular and welcomed as a nice thing.

Care to elaborate? Does this make you think they are dangerous? Otherwise I'm not sure why this would add to your opinion that the should not be welcomed as a nice thing.

I'm guessing regular metro cards don't use any kind of encryption, so the booth only needs an activation to let you pass. Or something. If that's actually the case, I expect that a lot of people use some system or another to circumvent paying for the metro.
