Nintendo's first mobile game, Miitomo, is hard to review (especially since it is so new). It is a communication app where you create a mobile Mii character (or import an existing one from your Wii U or 3DS) to interact with other players. You do this by building a base personality for your Mii and then answering questions about yourself. When your Mii is finally completed he/she will share your answers with other Mii characters that you invite to be your friends. That's basically it. You can earn Miitomo coins to spend on additional clothes and accessories, and link your Miitomo account to Nintendo's new Platinum Points rewards program.

While the world waits for Nintendo to finally release Miitomo, Marvel has launched Avengers Alliance 2 to the App Store. Avengers Alliance is a turn-based role-playing game where players can create a team of Marvel superheroes to do battle with Ultron, Baron Strucker, and more. The game is a follow-up to Disney's smash hit Avengers Alliance, which has mysteriously disappeared from the App Store.

Last week may have been a short trading week, however it was jam packed with fresh Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) news for stockholders. Apple stock opened Monday at $106.54 and dropped over a dollar after the iPhone SE media event as analysts digested the news. AAPL then surged on Tuesday, and hit its peak for the trading week at $107.28.

Share prices slid on Thursday, bottoming out at $104.95 before recovering to close the week at $105.67. After a loss of $0.87 (-0.82%) last week, AAPL started an upward climb on Tuesday morning. So what does Wall Street think of the lower-priced iPhone SE?

iOS 9.3 has had a rocky start. Not only did it cause an issue with older devices, like the iPad 2 and iPhone 5s, but iPhone 4s owners were disapointed to learn that their devices don't even support any of the new features included in the update. Then Apple today responded to claims that iOS 9 in general is having an issue with links in Safari, Messages, Mail, Notes and other apps.

It should come as no surprise the latest Apple headlines mostly revolve around new products announced at Apple's media event in Cupertino. In other news, Netflix admitted throttling video streaming to AT&T and Verizon customers. Speaking of AT&T, they are now offering free Wi-Fi calling from anywhere in the world. Check out the latest highlights from the week in Apple.
