Dates

Father's Day is dependent on the region of the game (North American, Japan, European, or Korean). For the European release of Animal Crossing: New Leaf, it is dependent on the language of the game and not on the country set. For example, if the country set in the 3DS is Germany but the language set is Spanish, Father's Day will fall on March 19.

• North America: Third Sunday of June
• Japan: Third Sunday of June
• Europe (English/French): Third Sunday of June
• Europe (Spanish/Italian): March 19
• Europe (German): Western Ascension Day (forty days after Easter)
