NIS America has announced that Atelier Annie: Alchemists of Sera Island, the latest installment of the Atelier series, will be available this October, exclusively for Nintendo DS. Unlike the previous series, which was strictly RPG, Atelier Annie adopts a unique "sim" based SRPG system. Characters will explore the world of Annie for alchemic items and also to participate in an island resort development project. As the head of an alchemy resort, you must go on quests to collect, create, and sell alchemy items to arriving customers and make the resort prosperous.
