The Atelier series is getting another entry according to the latest issue of Famitsu, in the form of Nelke And The Legendary Alchemists. Currently slated for release in Japan on Nintendo Switch (and various other platforms), the game is more of a spin-off and involves some top-down town-building, with various characters from the Atelier series popping by to check out your crib.
Developer Gust is once again working behind the scenes on this title, and it's looking to bring a vast array of characters from the series' long tenure into the game, and any potential sequels. It's currently slated for a Japan-only release, but plenty of Atelier titles have eventually made it to the West so we wouldn't be surprised to see this one make the transition as well.
Are you a fan of the Atelier series? How does this Animal Crossing-esque spin-off strike you? Is it the kind of game worth importing? Shar your thoughts below...

Meh. More interested in them bringing over the older 2 games of the "Mysterious" trilogy to have that one complete instead of some spin-off...
Great games to just sit back and relax btw ^_^
I want to be excited about this, but with Ys VIII, Octopath, Tales of Vesperia and Shining Resonance all set to drop this year, not to mention Dark Souls, the Atelier series is at the back of a pretty long queue. And if Fire Emblem joins the party too...
No idea who you people are. Guess I'm a tad late to jump on board now.
This is a very mediocre series unfortunately.
More Atelier is always a good thing.
I'll let you know if I'm excited after I get around to playing Lydie and Suelle.
Meh, still planing to pick up the last one once on sale.
After Xenoblade 2, NinoKuni2, Ys8, Dragon Quest and Kingdom Battle 3 in a row - Atelier would need a massive reboot for me to care.
Dang, I just got started on Lydie & Suelle not too long ago. Regardless, this looks intriguing...hopefully the time limit is optional at the least...
@Yasume At least you aren't watching three of your monsters fighting your opponents while being forced to fiddle around with the touch screen spinning a wheel...
I heard of this franchise but never play one, maybe I'll give this one a try if it ever hit western shore for Switch.
