Animal Crossing: New Leaf was finally given a release date for North America and Europe a few weeks ago but until now the official Australian date was in question. However, Nintendo of Australia has updated their website to state that New Leaf is coming to the country on June 15th. (and New Zealand)

We have nearly every major region covered with an official release date now! I think that’s something to celebrate considering how long it’s been. As a reminder, New Leaf releases on June 9th in North America and June 14th in Europe.

Localized versions of Animal Crossing: New Leaf will include an exclusive feature

According to Bill Trinen in the latest Nintendo Direct, the North American version (and we assume Europe) of Animal Crossing: New Leaf will contain an exclusive feature.

He wasn’t quite willing to give up exactly what that feature might be but right after mentioning it, he talked about the online connectivity features in New Leaf so it may be something to do with that.

If I had to guess, I would say the feature might be the ability to use the StreetPass house sharing feature online as StreetPasses are more difficult to find outside of Japan. Of course, that’s just my speculation! Have an idea as to what it might be? Leave a comment below!
