In the Nintendo Switch ecosystem, stands for Nintendo Submission Package . This is the digital format used for games distributed via the official Nintendo eShop. When you purchase and download a game directly from Nintendo’s servers, it arrives on your console as an NSP file (or an NSZ, a compressed variant). These files are digitally signed and encrypted with console-unique keys.
The addition of in the filename indicates that this specific NSP file was sourced from the digital eShop version of the game, as opposed to an “XCI” (Cartridge Image) dump. XCI files come from physical game cartridges. The eShop versions are often smaller due to firmware updates and lack of redundant padding, and they don’t require a cartridge dump certificate. For emulator users, the eShop NSP is the preferred format because it behaves exactly like a legitimately purchased digital copy. Bloodstained Ritual of the Night -NSP--eShop-.rar
