As we get closer and closer to entering the mysterious future of 2019, there's one thing that all Nintendo fans definitely need to remember - the birthdays of every single Animal Crossing character.
Amazingly, to help us all do just that, Nintendo has released a 2019 Birthday Calendar featuring the special dates for "almost" every character. Now you'll finally know exactly when you need to grab a cheap supermarket birthday card and a generic set of toiletries, and your parents can stop pestering you with messages asking if you've remembered to get something for good ol' Uncle Egbert (who just so happens to be a chicken).
Of course, silliness aside, the calendar will actually come in useful for Animal Crossing: New Leaf and Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp players, as you'll be able to trade gifts with any villagers who are celebrating their birthday on that day in-game. You can find the calendar for yourself on the My Nintendo rewards site (links below) - it's available in both Europe and North America for 80 Platinum points.
The North American My Nintendo site actually has a couple of extra Animal Crossing goodies, too, with a set of printable holiday cards and snowy wallpapers. They're available for 30 and 50 Platinum points respectively.
Do we have any Animal Crossing fans in the house? Will you be grabbing any of these rewards for yourself? Let us know with a comment.

I may get the wallpaper, it looks great. Not sure about the cards, not sure if most people I would send to would know, or appreciate, what they are.
I tried getting into it. I just can't. I liked the phone game, but new leaf is just selling things to get money to build bridges and what not. I wish there was more to it.
This service is brilliant. It’s just great
I ended up getting the calendar. It's only 80 platinum coins and I have over 1200 and have coins expiring every month. Might as well spend them ¯(ツ)/¯
In the good ol' days, Nintendo would have sent you a physical calendar and greeting cards in the mail.
I know not everyone has the luxury of having a printer at their disposal. Luckily, I work in a print shop. So these rewards have been pretty nice and useful as really nice gifts for my daughter. If I weren't already working on a custom 2019 calendar for her, I would have printed the Animal Crossing for her
Would it kill Nintendo to make all this print stuff available in Europe too? I'm half surprised we even got the calendar.
Bah! I send my villagers gifts all the time and they don’t even acknowledge them. Ingrates.
@Trajan it takes a little while to really appreciate the details of everything it does offer. Building the perfect house and city, finding every piece of rare furniture sets, seeing how friends are customizing their places and trading stuff with them, filling the museum, buying your favorite villagers in auctions online (though now you can just get their amiibo card, there was a time you had to drop 20 million bells or more for someone like Stitches), etc etc. Not to mention the atmosphere is pure zen. It's not for everyone but it's certainly worth a little extra time to see if it'll grow on you. My girlfriend put over 800 hours into New Leaf and I know I'll be putting at least that much into the new one with her.
These calendars better still be acurate when Animal Crossing comes out next year. I’ve worked very hard to earn those platinum coins!
@Trajan I've given it about 10hrs I think and I'm still on the same page as you. Some of the verbal exchanges with the villagers can be amusing, but progress in acquiring cash to develop the town seems very slow and uninspiring.
I have 3 Retail boxes of Animal Crossing New Leaf + 1 Digital download of ACNL. 😎
Oh, wait....
Today is my 5th Anniversary of my first ACNL game that I bought since 22 December 2013. 😀
I have been playing for 5 years with more than 1500 hours on my Pink x White 3DS XL.
My most played game on 3DS and fingers crossed will be just as good on Switch 🤞🏻
I suppose a printable calendar is just as good as a new entry for the series on Switch.
That sad moment when people on social media wish Isabelle a Happy Birthday, but forget Digby.
@Kainbrightside you can plant flower seeds, water them then pick them and sell them! That's kind of light farming....
@Trajan this is exactly how I feel about Animal Crossing
