Portable alchemy: The Atelier series comes to the DS

Since NIS America started bringing over the Atelier Iris games to North America there has been a growing fan base for the alchemic based Atelier series. While we’re waiting for Atelier Iris: Grand Fantasm to come to the USA, Gust announced Lise no Atelier for the Nintendo DS. The new Atelier game stars a female alchemist, Lise. Like all of the Atelier games Lise no Atelier incorporates alchemy and item synthesis, this time in a touch screen mini game. By tapping the elements on the touch screen you can gather key components like wood to make items.
