Sesame Street nerds and video game geeks alike have been going crazy like Frazzle ever since the announcement that popular game designer Tim Schafer and his company Double Fine are working on a Sesame Street game called Once Upon a Monster, for the motion-sensing, controller-free XBox Kinect system.

Today the trailer was released, and it looks pretty great.
