Crappy 3DS screenshot features man with comically ill-proportioned arms

Plus, two other amusing video game related arm disasters

Words: GamesRadar_MattCundy on October 6, 2010

Spotted this on NeoGAF recently. It's a shot from Konami's 3DS baseball game, Pro Baseball Spirits. Those arms are quite clearly ill-proportioned. Especially for a professional athlete. They're tiny like dinosaur arms. Did no one at Konami think the screenshot looked a bit cock before it was distributed to the press as an official asset? Obviously not.

The Pro Baseball Spirits screen has to be the worst video game related arm disaster since Ronaldinho's partially deflated limb appeared on the FIFA Soccer 08 box:

And that was only marginally more disturbing than the truncated appendage on the cover of NCAA March Madness 2003. It made Drew Gooden look more like a circus dwarf than a professional baller:

The lesson: arms can make everything else look weird if they're not done right.

What is it with sports guys and there open mouths? I'm sure that's a question that the extremely awesome and undoubtedly sexy Mr Cundy could answer.
