Giant Enemy Crab makes his animated debut

We've managed to avoid most of the nascent memes that emerged -- drenched in the amniotic fluid of thousands of gaming-forums -- from Sony's stillborn PS3 press conference (condensed here for your convenience). But we can only hold out for so long! For those not in the know, during the demonstration of feudal Japanese action title Genji 2, they said "the stages of the game will also be based on famous battles that actually took place in ancient Japan ... So here's this giant enemy crab!" Errr, right.

But that's not all internet jokesters have been giggling about: there's "Riiiiiiiidge Raaaacer," there's Genji 2's "real-time weapon change," and of course, there's "The Price." How nice then that this Flash animation, fittingly dubbed Giant Enemy Crab Battle, managed to cram all of the above (not to mention genital disease, Sonic the Hedgehog, and, um, ballet) into its short runtime.
