The National Videogame Museum launches Animal Crossing Diaries project
The National Videogame Museum wants your Animal Crossing: New Horizons memories for a forthcoming project.
Announced yesterday, the Animal Crossing Diaries will be filled with stories, videos, and art about the beloved Nintendo video game. Fans can head here to submit content. The chosen content will be featured in an exhibition at the Museum in Sheffield in late 2021.
In a statement, NVM Director of Culture Iain Simons said:
“Animal Crossing is the perfect experience for a lockdown. The coincidental timing of its release provided a welcome relief for millions of people who wanted to go outdoors but couldn’t, who wanted to meet friends but weren’t allowed. It’s no surprise that this incredibly creative, social space became a safe haven for millions during this turbulent year.”
Since its release in March, Animal Crossing: New Horizons has sold over 26 million copies. The game recently won for Best Family Game at The Game Awards.
Since 2009, MP3s and NPCs owner Terrance Pryor has written about music, conventions, cosplay, and video games for publications such as AXS, Examiner, Fake Walls, and Ranker. Based out of Los Angeles, the former rock concert promoter/radio host can be seen talking about rock music on AXS TV’s Music’s Greatest Mysteries and discussing music and whatever else on their Black Man Talks Rock channel on YouTube.
