It's widely known that both would use NFC - NFC stands for Near Field Communication. Most systems like this use it - many phones include this technology, and bank cards.
The fact was that they use the same frequency. I'd imagine the error comes about when the "data" that's stored on the chip is incompatible. For example, it attempts to write to the metro system that the User ID of the card has entered. The Samus amiibo obviously has no User ID that is in the Metro system, so the system rejects the call. It goes green because it figures "well it interacted so it works" but then gets a call back saying "close it".
