Spider-Man 2 flag error and other video game mistakes

The Cuban flag, seen behind Miles Morales, was displayed in error in PlayStation's Spider-Man 2 video game

Spider-Man 2 has become the fastest-selling video game made by PlayStation, but the game, which came out earlier this month, was released with a bit of an embarrassing mistake.

Did you spot it?

A flag displayed behind the character of Miles Morales was meant to represent his Puerto Rican heritage. Unfortunately for the game makers, it was the Cuban flag instead.

In the story Morales, who is of African American and Puerto Rican descent, lives in Brooklyn in New York.

The city is home to the largest Puerto Rican population in North America.

The Puerto Rican flag has red stripes instead of blue and a blue triangle at its hoist side instead of red

The game's developer, Insomniac, corrected the error in a patch, stating: "We understand that accurate representation matters, and greatly regret this error. We sincerely apologise and will do better in the future."

Check out some more mistakes that made it into video games below and if you've spotted some mistakes in the games you play, you can let us know in the comments.

Zelda: Does Link suck at archery?

As anyone who has played the Zelda games will know, Link is an all-action hero, using all the tools at his disposal from sword to bow.

However, although Link may seem very skilled it seems that gamers do a lot of the heavy lifting when it comes to his accuracy with archery.

Studying the in-game animation, one expert said Link actually "sucks" with a bow because he doesn't draw his arrows correctly.

In a TikTok video posted by Ridgeline Mounted Archers, based in Oregon in the United States, the bow and arrow instructor explained that in the Breath of the Wild game, Link mounts his arrow on the top of the bow, using an "inverted two-finger" draw.

According to the archer, this draw "really sucks" and people shouldn't use it because it pushes the arrow in the opposite direction of the direction you want it to fly.

We hope Zelda has learned to duck quickly the next time Link decides to use some arrows.

The unofficial Pokémon

Pokémon's first two games Red and Blue released on Nintendo GameBoy, are two classics when it comes to video games.

But they were also released with one of the most famous gaming glitches of all time; the MissingNo. Pokémon.

MissingNo, short for Missing Number, was a glitched Pokémon that players could encounter and capture.

The glitch was due to the game failing to read some of the data properly.

At a time in the late 1990s, the internet wasn't as widely used as it is today, so rumours of the bizarre Pokémon weren't talked about on YouTube, but were often shared in the playground, and players spent hours searching the in-game world of Kanto to find it.

Unfortunately, the glitch wasn't only a quirky feature of the game, and catching the MissingNo. Pokemon could result in saves being erased.

But the legend of MissingNo. became so popular it was included, this time intentionally, in re-releases of the Red and Blue games.

The Tiny Titan

When you think of American Football and the NFL, you probably think of huge athletes smashing into each other... So this next video game mistake is hilarious.

The glitch which appeared in Madden NFL 15, involved 6'2'' American footballer Christian Kirksey, who appeared in-game shrunk into miniature.

He appeared to be no taller than the knees of the other players on the field.

Despite being small in stature, he was more than able to hold his own and players controlling Kirksey could still use him to tackle and block runs of opponents more than six times his size.

Acknowledging the glitch, the game's developer EA sports, used the mistake to their advantage, creating an advertising campaign where Kirksey was described as the "Tiny Titan".
