- Nintendo released "Animal Crossing: New Horizons," the latest entry in its popular life simulator series, on Friday.
- One of the central activities in "Animal Crossing" is catching fish and bugs, which you can then donate to a local in-game museum.
- Unlike other entries in the series, however, "New Horizons" makes you wait at least a full day before you can donate anything to the museum, leaving players with outrageous stockpiles of fish and bugs.
- Players have taken to Twitter and Tumblr to post memes, showcase their collections, and beg the museum to open sooner.

"Animal Crossing," a long running series of life simulators created by Nintendo, may be the only game whose fans get upset over not having access to a museum.
"Animal Crossing: New Horizons" was released Friday for the Nintendo Switch, and already thousands of people are building their towns and meeting their new digital neighbors. However, players booting up the game for the first time have found one part of their town is missing: the museum.
One of the goals of "Animal Crossing" (if there even is a goal) is to collect all the fish, bugs, and more that are in the game. Once you've collected them, you can donate them to your in-game town museum, where they'll then go on display for everyone to see.
Building your museum's collection is one of the most rewarding aspects of any "Animal Crossing" game, as you get to see your collection grow and change in real time.
But unlike other games in the series, "Animal Crossing: New Horizons" comes with a catch: you have to play for at least a day before the museum curator arrives, and another two days before the museum officially opens.
This is leaving productive players with nowhere to donate their fish and bugs. And considering how many creatures there are in the game to collect — nearly 200 of each type — players are already building massive stockpiles.
As they wait in unison for the museum to open, "Animal Crossing" players stormed social media to post memes about their collection, showcase how many creatures they've caught, and complain about the museum's curator, Blathers.
Here's a roundup of the best posts.
