Hows my homies training
going? Whaa? Hey! What
are you doing Ronald?

That's a very nice display, Detective No. 27

Today I bought Link since he works with almost everything. I also bought Wii Fit Trainer under the guise of "I can sell this in a year and make my money back + more" but deep down I knew it was just to get the shame out of the way early

i havent played that game is "rupees or boosts or 3-star or under weapons" actually worth caring about

yea the rupees and materials are good, i dont know if they give boosts but its always good to have a boost to material collecting or weapon drop rates, and getting weapons is always good

Could we make it a rule that if someone posts a Kotaku link, they have to quote it so nobody else has to click it?

quote:

Nintendo's Amiibo figures use near field communication (NFC) to work. Know what else uses NFC? A lot of public transport ticketing systems.

yollych here took this video not long after picking up some of the first Amiibo figures in Russia. In it, we can see the Samus Amiibo able to open the gates at a Metro station.

Now, one of two possible things has happened here:

The Samus figure has code in it that somehow, coincidentally, plays nice with Moscow's Metro ticketing system.
yollych has modified the Amiibo, whether by cracking open the case and swapping out the chip or via some hasty programming, to broadcast ticketing information instead of Nintendo information.

Either of those things (though the latter seems more likely) is awesome. Id' much rather have Link or Yoshi be responsible for my public transport payments than some piece of boring-rear end plastic.

And while people are freaking out about this application, who's to say it's not just as impressive going the other way around? Maybe London's Oyster cards can play a mean AC Villager in Smash...4

Oh, they made the clear plastic yellow because that is the color of the base. Mystery solved. That Link statue actually looks pretty good in this picture.
