Atelier Annie Uncovered in the West

Atelier is heading to the DS in the West, with NIA America set to bring the latest game, Atelier Annie, over from Japan.

Atelier Annie is described as sim-based SRPG meeting alchemy RPG, whereas the past titles were strictly straight-up RPG. Players become the owner of an alchemy resort - where you head on quests to create and flog alchemy items and make your resort grow and prosper.

The game is due out in October in North America.
