This paper provides a detailed technical examination of the file architectures utilized in Nintendo Switch software distribution, specifically analyzing the distinctions between NSP and XCI formats. Using Pokémon Sword as a primary case study, this document explores the structural composition of these files, the integration of Downloadable Content (DLC), and the significance of software updates, culminating in the analysis of Title Update 1.3.2. The objective is to demystify the terminology often associated with software preservation and modding communities while outlining the technical mechanisms of how the Nintendo Switch operating system manages game assets. The Nintendo Switch console, released in 2017, utilizes a proprietary operating system (Horizon) that manages software via a distinct filesystem hierarchy. Unlike previous generations that relied heavily on physical cartridges as the sole medium, the Switch era embraced a hybrid digital-physical model. This shift introduced specific file formats for software storage and execution: NSP (Nintendo Submission Package) and XCI (NX Card Image).
