Nintendo is raising prices on the original Switch game consoles due to 'market conditions'
Being a Nintendo fan keeps getting more expensive. Nintendo's latest price hikes impact the original Nintendo Switch and some Switch 2 accessories. Tariff-related costs are the likely culprit — with Nintendo citing "market conditions." Mario is asking for more gold coins. Nintendo is raising prices on the original Nintendo Switch game consoles, along with some Switch 2 accessories. "Pricing for the original Nintendo Switch™ family of systems and products will change in the United States based on market conditions, effective August 3, 2025," the company said. "These include Nintendo Switch — OLED Model, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch Lite and select Nintendo Switch accessories." It's not yet clear what the new prices will be. The original Nintendo Switch was listed at $299.99, while the OLED model with an improved screen sold for $349.99. "Other Nintendo products, including certain Nintendo Switch 2 accessories, select amiibo, and the Nintendo Sound Clock: Alarmo, will also see adjustments," the company said. The company is not raising the price of its more expensive Switch 2, though it said it's not ruling out a future price hike, saying that "price adjustments may be necessary in the future." Nintendo previously delayed pre-orders of the Nintendo Switch 2 amid tariff uncertainty before deciding not to raise the price of the game console itself — instead boosting the price of Switch 2 accessories. Nintendo's mention of "market conditions" is a likely reference to President Donald Trump's tariffs, which continue to evolve. The company previously moved some production of its original Switch from China to Vietnam due to economic tensions between China and the US. On Thursday, Trump announced changes to his planned "reciprocal" tariffs, with Vietnam now facing a 20% rate. Read the original article on Business Insider

BioConsortia Closes Financing to Accelerate Launch of Next-Generation Nitrogen-Fixing Biofertilizer and Fuel Global Expansion
BUSINESS WIRE)--BioConsortia, Inc., a leader in microbial innovation for sustainable agriculture, announced today it has secured $15 million in funding from its long-standing internal investors, led by Otter Capital and affiliated funds. 'This investment, one in a series of recurring financings from our internal investors, reflects their deep confidence in BioConsortia's science, strategy, and commercial momentum,' said Marcus Meadows-Smith, BioConsortia's CEO. 'Their investments total $95 million and bring BioConsortia to this exciting moment in the company's history.' The new funding will accelerate the global launch of Always-N™, BioConsortia's groundbreaking nitrogen-fixing seed treatment for industrial corn and support continued expansion of its discovery and development engine at the company's Davis, California headquarters. Always-N enables farmers to maintain crop yields while reducing reliance on synthetic nitrogen fertilizers—significantly lowering greenhouse gas emissions and improving soil health. Applied as a seed treatment, Always-N delivers consistent field performance and is the only nitrogen-fixing biofertilizer combining advanced gene editing and extended viability exceeding two years. "Synthetic nitrogen fertilizers are essential to modern agriculture, but their overuse comes at a steep environmental cost,' said Meadows-Smith. 'With Always-N, we offer a powerful, sustainable alternative—backed by cutting-edge science and built for real-world performance.' Roughly half of applied synthetic nitrogen is never absorbed by crops. Instead, it runs off into waterways or is broken down in soil, releasing nitrous oxide—a greenhouse gas 300 times more potent than CO₂. As regulatory and market pressure builds for climate-smart farming, demand for sustainable alternatives like Always-N is growing rapidly. Following its successful commercial debut in New Zealand in 2024, Always-N is now preparing for broader market entry, supported by key global partners including The Mosaic Company in row crops in the Americas. The new funding enables BioConsortia to scale manufacturing, build inventory, and expand market access in anticipation of the upcoming growing season. Always-N is powered by BioConsortia's discovery and development platform - an integrated engine using proprietary tools for microbial discovery, selection, and optimization. It begins with Advanced Microbial Selection™ (AMS) to identify high-performing plant-associated microbes, then uses GenExpress™ and GenePro™ tools to enhance traits such as nitrogen fixation, disease and pest control, and shelf-life. In addition to Always-N™, BioConsortia is advancing a robust pipeline of next-generation biostimulants, fungicides, nematicides, and insecticides—engineered for extended shelf life, ease of use, and superior field efficacy. Since its founding in 2014, BioConsortia has validated its platform across diverse crops, geographies, and soil types. Field trials have consistently demonstrated the efficacy of its microbial biofertilizers, fungicides, nematicides, and insecticides—delivering growers new tools for sustainable, high-yield farming. About BioConsortia At BioConsortia, we are pioneering the next generation of agricultural biologicals through cutting-edge microbial gene editing. Our breakthroughs in editing only the most stable microbes unlock unprecedented performance in nitrogen fixation, biocontrol, and biostimulants—delivering solutions that are more effective, more consistent, and easier to use than anything on the market today. By precisely enhancing natural microbial traits, we're creating products that outperform both traditional chemicals and first-generation biologicals—with longer shelf life, extended life on seed, robust field efficacy, and compatibility with existing farm systems. Our AMS platform supports rapid discovery and development of superior wild type microbial products, and our gene-edited innovations redefine what's possible in sustainable agriculture. Since its founding in 2014, BioConsortia has built a reputation for delivering science-driven, field-proven solutions across a wide range of crops, geographies, and growing conditions.
