Following last week's insane release schedule, a bit of slowdown is called for. And for the most part, it's true for North America – but a couple of little big releases with Octodad: Dadliest Catch and Tomorrow Corporation (Little Inferno)'s next project, Human Resource Machine repping the eShop this week. Natsume's Harvest Moon: More Friends of Mineral Town is the Virtual Console release of the week.

Europe is the big winners on this All Hallow's Eve, as we've got Fatal Frame, Resident Evil 4, Slender the Arrival and SMT Devil Survivor 2 Record Breaker all dropping this week. Thankfully, the Chibi-Robo Zip Lash demo and Octodad will keep you from going too crazy.
