They are essentially the worst kind of DLC, taking away small chunks of content from the games, except this time tied to physical items.

holy sh-
It's more likely that the cards in Moscow only store a unique ID on the RFID card - and via booths connected online, or via top up websites, you add a balance to that unique ID. When you attempt to pass through the gate, the terminal just checks you've got enough on your balance and lets you through.
On Oyster cards in London you can actually remove the RFID tag and attach it to something.
People have attached them to jewelry or clothing so they don't have to get their card out all the time. He could have actually done this with an amiibo and attached it to the bottom, we don't see the bottom of it... OR he could have actually written a legit metro cards data to the XML file on the amiibo somehow
If its just a Russian metro glitch - then yeah - Amiibo sales in Russia should be good!
we should give this guy a tag.
I gasped audibly
How exactly would Smash Amiibos work without Amiibos?

It was planned all along.

I mean, could it be this stupid? Assuming its not fake, which I still think it probably is, could it really just be looking for the value MetroID somewhere on the NFC chip?

it's actually kinda better than a normal dlc because they work on multiple games.
but i honestly don't know what kind of content they unlock
If it wasn't Black Friday I would be done with the internet right now....

To be honest, that terminal would benefit from a good dose of old and always welcomes stability, don't you all think?

This is crazy. Now I actually want one, not that I live anywhere near that area.
Awesome!
As someone regularly using Moscow Metro, that's not what actually happens in the video. Those gates work like this: you use your pass, the red light turns green and it stays green until you actually through, then turns red again. In the video it just flashes green, so I assume it wouldn't actually let you through (also, most gates in Moscow Metro are open by default and are shut only when someone tries to go through without using their pass first).
EDIT:
Yes, they actually try to go through the gate in the video and it doesn't let them through. They say it doesn't work, too. So I guess it sort of recognizes an NFC signal, but doesn't accept it.
It all makes sense now.
