Animal Forest (“Dōbutsu no Mori” or “どうぶつの森”) was released in Japan for the Nintendo 64 on April 14th, 2001: exactly 25 years ago today!

These calendars include holidays, special events, igloo and summer campers, and more. Additionally, I've created a tool which can generate importable calendars for the birthdays of villagers in your town using data from future titles and star signs from e-Reader cards.
