They are the two common Nintendo Switch game file formats. Most downloads on this site are provided in one of these formats; the format is written on each game page.
What is a Title ID?
A Title ID is the unique code Nintendo gives to each game. It is listed on every game page so you can confirm you have the right game and match updates to it.
